    We were a part of a small group of folks who took in Tournon's inaugural Foire aux Vins fair, and we hope they try it again next year. Also on the podcast, second home owners in France can expect additional taxes.

    There is just so much to see within an hour of our home here in SW France, including the amazing Chateau Cercuès. We took in a tasty lunch at this hotel/restaurant/winery. You'll also find out more on France's Foire aux Vins.

    Chateau de St. Foy

    We went to visit the Chateau de St. Foy and received the complete history of France. Not bad for 12 Euros. Also, an examination of cars without permits and the pre-cursor to steroids at the Tour de France.

Jeff I’m also trying to learn French later in life. It’s much easier to see it on paper than trying to understand machine gun French!

Love this show and really look forward to it each Friday. Jeff & Julie have a comical view of their trials and tribulations of moving to France while the world was under lockdown. With the pandemic over, J&J relive what it’s like adjusting to life in a rural town in south/west France in a very humorous way. They do a wonderful job explaining the scenery and different customs while travelling to numerous beautiful locations throughout France. I had no interest in this region of France before joining Jeff & Julie on their weekly stories, but am anxious to travel there now. Thank you! Dave
