Waiting for the Tour de France

The above photo was taken about a mile from Le Grand-Bornand, where stage 19 of this year's Tour de France finished. This was just before the advertising caravan came through.
If you've ever been to the Tour de France, you realize it's two events. First the . The one disappointment was that LCL, a French bank in the advertising caravan wasn't giving money!

Rules of the Road

My latest app - France: Rules of the Road is now for sale. As the name would suggest it's about driving in France and is available for iOS and Android. Some of what's included: 300+ French road signs into English, car equipment required when driving in France, Autoroute (motorway/highway) system explained in-depth and traffic estimates. Plus much more.

Podcast

In my most recent Podcast I talk with Bill Hinchberger, a freelance journalist living in Paris. We had an interesting conversation on a variety of subjects, from being single in Paris to a book written without the letter e. Not many Podcasts can say that!

Ray Walker had a secure career in finance until a wine-tasting vacation ignited a passion that he couldnt stifle. Ray neglected his work, spending hours poring over ancient French winemaking texts, learning the techniques and the language, and daydreaming about vineyards. After Ray experienced his first taste of wine from Burgundy, he could wait no longer. He quit his job and went to France to start a winerywith little money, a limited command of French, and virtually no winemaking experience.

Currencies Direct: With increased protections and restrictions being put on the transfer of the US dollar, many companies are unable to help American clients transfer their funds. Currencies Direct is proud to be one of the few companies which has acquired a license to trade American clients and their funds safely and quickly; the only condition is that the funds must come from and go to the client's own account. We are happy to put the comfort back into currency for American clients and have an office in France with a team who is always there to help answer any questions.
