Welcome to Murder, Wine & Cheese! Here, you can dive into French criminal cases that I narrate with care, without putting the culprits on a pedestal and while respecting the victims.

Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments, on social media (see bottom of the page), or through the Contact page. Your feedback greatly helps me improve, and I’m always ready to discuss with you about anything!
