Come with me to discover France
In a few days it is going to be 4 years since I moved to France. Was it a good move? Was it a good thing to do? Do I miss my previous home? Yes, yes, and no.
Moving to France has been the best move I have ever made. In here I feel more at home than ever before. Not even in my original South America I felt so at home. I still have not mastered the language, I am still struggling with the French language, but even so, I am happy in here.
Maybe it is because ever since I was a little girl I have been fascinated with fairy tales, castles and princesses –what little girl is not?-The point is, that France has all of that by loads. I choose Central France as my new home so I am near enough to almost everywhere. The Castles of the Loire Valley, the beaches of the Atlantic coast, the volcanic lands of the South and the snow covered mountains where we can go skiing whenever we feel like.
On top of that, I adore the food in here. Often people imagine the French eating frogs and snails washed down with red wine. But the reality could not be more delicious. Plenty of vegetables glistening in your dish ready to be savoured with a slice of crusty baguette. Pungent cheeses arriving at the table and you don’t know which one to choose as all of them are delicious.
Follow me, come with me to discover France.
I have to say I’m completely jealous of you.
I’ve been studying French for nearly 9 years, and hope to either tavel or teach there at one point. If you ever want help with the language, I’d be happy to try.
