But it is also a city of inspiration, literature, art and everyday discoveries. This is the side of the French capital we explore in the latest episode of <em>Fransk-norsk kaf\u00e9<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our guest, J\u00f8rgen Skullerud Hesselberg, is a young Norwegian who has lived in France since 2023 and in Paris since 2024. Passionate about writing, literature and cultural life, he has founded <em>Byleik<\/em>, a bilingual French-Norwegian publication exploring art, literature and urban life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Discovering Paris beyond the landmarks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For J\u00f8rgen, Paris is much more than its famous monuments. It is a city to explore through everyday experiences: cycling through its streets, spending time in neighbourhood caf\u00e9s and observing the people around him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In his columns published on <em>iEuropa<\/em>, he describes spontaneous bicycle rides, his favourite caf\u00e9s in the 19th and 20th arrondissements, and the pleasure of discovering a city without always having a destination in mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These experiences also reflect his interest in writing personal columns, turning small observations into stories about the world around us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Byleik: a literary project between three languages<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the heart of our conversation is <em>Byleik<\/em>, the French-Norwegian publication J\u00f8rgen has created in Paris.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What inspires someone to start a literary and artistic journal in two languages? How can everyday experiences become stories? And how can art and literature create connections between different cultures?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We discuss creativity, inspiration and what it means to find your own voice while living abroad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A different, more positive view of Paris<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This episode is also an opportunity to explore a side of Paris that is sometimes overshadowed by the news: its lively neighbourhoods, caf\u00e9 culture, artistic energy and countless everyday encounters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Without ignoring the difficulties of life in a major city, J\u00f8rgen offers a curious and enthusiastic perspective on the place he now calls home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A warm, thoughtful and inspiring conversation in Norwegian and French about literature, cultural encounters and the joy of discovering Paris.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Listen to this episode of Fransk-norsk kaf\u00e9 on your favourite podcast platform.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-spotify wp-block-embed-spotify wp-embed-aspect-21-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Spotify Embed: Byleik: Paris sett gjennom \u00f8ynene til en nordmann | Paris racont\u00e9 par un jeune Norv\u00e9gien\" style=\"border-radius: 12px\" width=\"100%\" height=\"152\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/episode\/5ppPNBt4VeegK5RXa2bWds?si=823ecd31bc3d411b&amp;utm_source=oembed\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fransk-norsk kaf\u00e9: A conversation with J\u00f8rgen Skullerud Hesselberg Paris often makes the headlines because of political tensions, demonstrations and the challenges of urban life.
