#16 - Weird and wonderful superstitions of France

The French are rather a superstitious bunch – and some of the
superstitions are very odd - got 13 for dinner and think the
number 13 is unlucky? Then go French, pop an egg on the table,
now you have 14 for dinner! Tread in dog poo and think it's
ruined your day? Non, non, non - in France it could be lucky,
depending on which foot did the deed! Want to make a wish come
true? Well that's simple, just find a French sailor, dressed in
uniform including the traditional beret with a red bobble on top
- and give that bobble a twiddle! What? 

Yes, these and more strange and fabulous superstitions will be
discussed in this very fun podcast episode!


Plus a listener asks a question about the seasons in France and
we explain how the bonker French Revolutionary calendar could
have made things very different with 10 day-long weeks, and 3
week-long months and a unique name for every day of the
year!
