Chez Loulou
By Chez: This blog is about my life in the south of France. It is about the food, the wine, the gorgeous countryside, the good times and the bad, and the cheese. Always the cheese.

Paris Parfait
By Tara: I grew up in a small town in the American South, where I read many, many books, published my own newspaper and dreamed of escaping to New York. After journalism school, I jumped on a plane to said city - where my joie de vivre was more appreciated - and never looked back.

American in France
By Cynthia: Unlike many Americans, I never dreamed about living in France. In fact, I’m an Italophile, having studied in Italy as a college student, vacationed there for 20 years and lived there from 1998-2000. But as fate would have it, I fell in love with a Frenchman in 2005 who I met during a train ride in Provence. After 2.5 years of a long distance relationship between Los Angeles and Chambery, I sold my house, ended my thriving and successful consulting business, and dragged my poor cats to Chambery at the ripe old age of 49 (me that is, not my cats).

David Lebovitz - Living the Sweet Life in Paris
By David: I started my website in 1999, which featured frequently updated stories and recipes. In 2005, I added blogging software, which made writing and updating it a lot easier so it could officially be called a “blog”. I never realized how many people would start reading it, but folks keep coming back for more—and more.

Ooh La La English Demoiselle
By Claire: An English mademoiselle who moved to the South of France with her petit copain start a new enhanced way of life. My boyfriend and I met in England in 2008, we danced together and then fell in love and now we are living in the South of France (Dan's home town). I am currently learning French at language school and am enjoying getting to meet new people, learn and embrace the culture and bask in the sun. Every day brings new experiences and challenges each one creating a memory. So far I am enjoying being une femme au foyer (mais sans enfants)and living the dream xx

Je Ne Sais Quoi
By Shannon: Discovering the truth about Parisians... one humiliating story at a time. This blog is a caricature and I am the self-appointed queen of exaggerationland. The highly sensitive, sarcastically-challenged, emotionally-constipated and humorless should jump ship immediately. PS - we're not affiliated with JNSQ fashion shop. They're way too classy for the likes of us.

Jennie en France
By Jennie: Another American in France. Originally from Michigan. PACSed to French boyfriend. Owner of the furriest cat ever. Fond of everything Quebecois.

Sara in Le Petit Village
By Sara: I fell in love, and followed The Boyfriend (now The Husband) back to his little village in Provence to live happily ever after. Just one problem...I can't speak French. Oh well, c'est la vie! Join me in my new life as I mingle with the locals, explore the domestic arts, and maybe learn a little French.

When in Paris, in addition to running her vacation rental company (Haven in Paris), Erica spends her days scouring the city for anything and everything hip—from restaurants and boutiques to organic markets and artistic events. While she travels frequently to Italy, Brooklyn, Maine and Massachusetts, she is always happy to return to her hilltop home in Montmartre.

Lost in Cheeseland
By Lindsey: I'm a Paris transplant from Philadelphia who fell in love with a Frenchman and moved to Paris. Cliché, right? This blog is meant to cover some not-so-cliché topics and uncover some aspects of Paris (or France, for that matter) that you might not already know. Through food, travel, love and obstacles, I experience life in France.

Paris (Im)perfect)
By Sion: Sion Dayson is paris (im)perfect. Writer, dreamer, I moved to France on – no exaggerating – a romantic whim. As you can imagine, a lot can go wrong (and very right!) with such a (non)plan. These are the (im)perfect stories that result.

The French Village Diaries
By Jacqui: We have lived in a small, but lively, village in the French countryside since August 2004. We made the decision to move out here with the aim of spending more time together as a family, and have managed to achieve that goal. Adrian still works for his UK clients, but has worked part-time since our move, and tries to avoid working during Eddy’s school holidays. He has also been developing his web-site design skills and set-up new sites for a number of our friends with local businesses. As these have tended to be holiday lettings, in 2010 we launched Special Places In France, a fantastic holiday listings site, the ideal place to find that perfect holiday rental property!

Domaines & Terroirs
By Debbi: I love cheese! I love France! And since I live in Paris, I discover them both by travelling around the countryside, tasting and learning about « terroir » in regional France. The blog is all about artisanal cheese and everything that makes them what they are – the people, places, animals, events, customs and culture. So we invite kindred spirits to join us here at DOMAINES & TERROIRS.

Guiri Guide to Paris
By Jodie: Honest views and thorough insight to help you successfully navigate through your move to Paris.

Mr. Patterson Goes to Languedoc
By Gerry: These pages cover most of the rides I do in and around my new home in Languedoc, France. I try to update the blog at least weekly, weather and motivation levels permitting. New for 2011, many of my articles will be about my new-found hobby – losing weight and spending silly amounts of money and time to get myself ready for racing.

Le Fabuleux Destin de Brenna
By Brenna: My name is Brenna, but some people call me “sassy pants”. I try to avoid life stresses through cooking and running, I have never seen a horror movie, and my dream man is Javier Bardem. I am currently living in France, working as an English teacher in public elementary schools.

Vegemite Croissant
By Ange: The point of this blog is to attempt to help out (or humour) other likeminded people who have found themselves in a foreign country trying to understand what the hell is going on around them. Basically, we’ll be noting things that are different, unexpected, tricky to understand or just plain interesting.

Our House in Quercy
By Simone: An Australian family of seven living in the South West of France for a year of good eating and attempting to make ourselves understood in limited, heavily accented French.
