Strangers in a strange land. Nearly 20 years in "La Belle France", some of us never came here for a lifestyle change, we live here because we don't live somewhere else. Welcome to a few thoughts on life in the "real" smalltownFrance. The same hassle as life anywhere else with different-shaped bread. Berry Deep France, for ex-pats, angry parents, bed and breakfast bankrupts or Saturday night rockers

Don't ask me who rates FabFrog at 4.3.

For variety, consistency and quality this is the best French blog extant.
Congratulations Nick and hope the job situation sorts itself out soon.
