Je T'aime France! I have been here many times, especially to the Bretagne region which is only a 7 hour Ferry crossing from my home. It is so relaxing & peaceful, we enjoy being here so much we have even bought a house to renovate, close to the Huel Goat (pronounced "el gwat) Forest.

The food, language, atmosphere, culture, attitude towards life there is wonderful & our plan one day is to live in France.

Photo is of my Favourite place to see the sun go down in France, sitting in a quiet small local beachside cafe with the heat of the day fading & the wonderful warmth of the evening sun, & only the sounds of the sea to keep you from your thoughts. "Magical"!

Nicola, these are, indeed, beautiful pages. You've captured the ambience of France, and your vibrant photographs add to that emotion.

It is interesting to know how neighbors consider France. "The pace of life here is certainly much slower than in England" How amazing ! When in UK, I might have written "The pace of life here is certainly much slower than in France" Haha :-)))

Great page and wonderful photos. The light on your pics (especially those with the sun being low) is nice.
