The French define le Petit Plaisir as a simple indulgence that brings great pleasure and enjoyment. The English translation, small pleasures or simple pleasures.

Petit Plaisir posts began being shared on TSLL in January 2014, and when The Simple Sophisticate podcast premiered in September 2014, they punctuated the end of each episode: an idea to make the everyday all the more enjoyable. From a recommended and loved book, a film, a show, a recipe, anything that satiates your sophisticated taste, Petit Plaisirs elevate our lives, help us savor the present moment and need not be of great expense and sometimes are absolutely priceless. Look for a new Petit Plaisir with each new episode of The Simple Sophisticate podcast.
