My affection for France is grounded in the over-arching premise of approaching life with the intention to seek quality over quantity in all arenas of living, thus enabling the individual, the community and a culture to live well.

The art of living well is a conscious choice, a thoughtful and considered choice, when there are many choices to choose from. Granted the choices become easier when the land you live upon offers terroir that is rich in soil that is capable of nurturing a vast variety of produce, vineyards, wheat, flax and feed for the animals that share their milk for the delectable fromages. But France hasn’t had it all that easy to put it mildly when we reflect upon its tumultuous history. And in part, a large part, it is because of its history that much of the customs, traditions, fashions and behaviors which have become loved by people around the globe are what they are today.

In this fourth annual French Week here on TSLL blog, we will dive into much of what is loved and appreciated about France. From the food, simple decor touches, talking to an American who has called Paris home for 20 years and take a walking tour of his arrondisment, explore Paris’ famous Marche aux Puces, share my latest recommendations for hotels, restaurants and more in the city of Light inspired by my recent trip to France this past July, as well as much more including the giveaways – five to be exact, the week is scheduled to be full and satisfy your love for all things French.

In fact, the first giveaway has already been posted, so be sure to stop by, explore and enter by Saturday August 17th.

Before I wrap up the introduction to what I hope is a week for TSLL readers to explore and travel vicariously to the country that holds a special place in their lives for their own special and unique reasons, I want to thank you for stopping by today. Each day this week beginning today, there will be two new posts. As well, there will be two new podcast episodes going live this week, the first will be available for download tomorrow (Monday) on its regular day of the week and the second on Thursday. But now it is time for French Week to begin! Allons-y! as they say in France – Let’s go!

Throughout the entire week, I’ll be sharing peeks and stories, as well as each of the giveaways, along with readers pics of how they are enjoying the week on TSLL’s social media sites. If you want to have your pic shared on TSLL’s Instagram Stories, tag me on any of the social media hubs listed below and include the hashtag #tsllfrenchweek2019 or #tsllfrenchweek.

  2. Each year as “French Week” begins, I am remind myself how far I have come in slowing down, preparing and savoring the food I make, adding simple touches to my home that bring me great joy and marking one special item of clothing I want to purchase to add to my fall capsule wardrobe! Thank you Shannon for this wonderful gift!

  3. Cou-Cou Shannon!
