The writers behind this newsletter.
American, ex-NYC teacher, current immigrant. Trying to build a different life from the one I started with. In France.
A weekly newsletter about immigrant life in small-town southwest France — the beautiful parts, the baffling parts, and everything in between. Written by a recovering overachiever who is deprogramming herself, one market day at a time.
I write about what I call the Versailles Century (1682-1789), that period when the Kings of France resided in their great chateau at Versailles and the elites of Europe from Madrid to Moscow looked to them for cultural leadership.
A French-American dual national, I've lived in France for over 35 years. "France in Between" recounts my journeys of discovery to France's smaller towns, providing inspiration and insight to help you get off the beaten track.
