Todd: OK, Hello!
Raphael: Hello!
Todd: Can you say your name please?
Raphael: Yeah, sure. My name is Raphael Thibault
Todd: Thibault!
Raphael: Yeah! Thibault!
Todd: OK, and that's your last name?
Raphael: Ah, yeah, it's my last name, but it's a first name too in France.
Todd: Oh, really
Raphael: Yeah! It's quite traditional. It's from the middle ages.
Todd: OK
Raphael: Yeah, yeah, yeah!
Todd: Wow, Where are you from in France?
Raphael: I just finished my studies in Paris, but I was born in the South. Actually, it's the place they make foie gras. If you know about foie gras.
Todd: Yeah, yeah, yeah
Raphael: We used 1 to eat on Christmas and..
Todd: What exactly is foie gras? Sorry, it's hard for me to say.
Raphael: It's from the duck. It's um, how do you call it?
Raphael: Yeah, the liver! That's it. The liver, and it's cooked an official 3 way and you can have it both like cold or hot, I mean, any kind, but the point is, the duck has to be fed in nature, right! It's not working if it's in a, industrial 4 feeding duck
Todd: Oh, really!
Raphael: It doesn't produce really good foie gras, yeah!
Todd: So the duck must come from nature?
Raphael: Yeah, actually, that's why this place is famous for because it's countryside. There's no really big cities and most of the people are farmers so they actually produce some really good foie gras, like I heard the competition comes from East Europe now but they make more like industrial foie gras. It's a little different, but anyway, that's the place I'm born.
Todd: Wow! Is that the eastern 5 side or the western side?
Raphael: It's the southwest.
Todd: OK, towards Spain.
Raphael: Yeah, that's it. Exactly! Like below Bordeaux, a city called Bordeaux, it's a bit below this city.
Todd: OK, so Bordeaux is known 6 for wine.
Raphael: Yeah, yeah, exactly.
Todd: So, is it near the mountains or?
Raphael: It's not that close to Spain. It's, how can I say, yeah, it's not the extremity 7 of France, it's more like center-south, you know.
Todd: Oh, OK. Sounds like a pretty place though.
Raphael: What?
Todd: It sounds like a pretty place.
Raphael: Yeah, yeah, it's quite nice. It's quite nice. I mean, it's countryside right. You have to like it. There's not a lot of things to do, but, I spend like my, from fifteen years old, I live there and then I moved to another city called La Rochelle, which is close to the sea, just in front of the sea actually, and that's a better place. I like it much.
