Parler en Francais or why do you need to speak and understand French
I was a seventeen year old German exchange student in the United States, living in an idyllic small town seaside village on the East coast and had my first encounter with Carole in High School. Carole was just like me, an exchange student in the US but she came from Paris, was a year older than me and simply beautiful. And yes: very French.
Brocante – one of my favorite week-end occupations
A Brocante is the French equivalent for a flea-market but with predominantly old vintage household goods and furniture. But let’s start at the beginning. In all French departments and of course also in my region PACA (Provence-Alpes-Cote d´Azur) you can look up Brocantes in an online published calendar (brocabrac.fr).
