The writers behind this newsletter.

  • Keith Christiansen

    American, ex-NYC teacher, current migrant. Now in France, writing about daily life, dislocation, and the weird middle of change. Not a guide. Not a francophile. Just trying to notice things. I’ll try to keep it interesting.

  • Valerie Rivera

    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.
