    • Hello! I have just finished reading My Life in France (Julia Child with Alex Prud'homme) and of course had to buy Mastering the Arto fo French cooking (which I have still to try out). Julia Child comes across as a wonderful human being and loved France and all it offered. I have French Huguenot roots from both sides of my family and find now in late middle age that I am very drawn to France and would love to hear what day to day life is like for an expat (my french is not that wonderful) and see if retiring there is a viable option? would love to hear more!
      regards, Michele
