Summer Photos

As summer nears its end, its always nice to look back on where you've been and what you've done. So here are some photos from my summer 2016. Enjoy!

La Rentrée

September means back to school - La Rentrée. Here's the French school calendar for 2016/17.

Events in France

Here are two events coming up in France. The first is Journées européennes du Patrimoine - European Heritage Days taking place September 17-18. Journées européennes du Patrimoine is a great way to see buildings in France normally closed to the public. Another plus, public museums in France are free, and private museums offer reduced admission.
Tous au Restaurant is September 19-October 2. Similar to Journées européennes du Patrimoine, Tous au Restaurant is a celebration of French food heritage, with participating restaurants offering a two for one 'Tous au Restaurant' menu - two people can eat for the price of one.

End of Summer Reading

Lost in France, a country she mistrusts, among French people she hardly understands, Annie has trouble venturing away from home since the death of her husband. And since home happens to be a small jewel of a house nestled in the heart of Paris, why would she ever want to? But when bankruptcy threatens her beloved house, her one anchor in life, Annie has no choice but to find renters, and quick.
