Feels special : Les Puces, Saint-Ouen
I first wrote about the Saint-Ouen flea market back in 2013. Few things have changed for me since then, I still don’t go there nearly as often as I should, it’s still mostly expensive and I still find...

Feels special : tiny churches, Cantal, France
I‘ll gladly admit that I do enjoy visit churches, but it would also be true to say I’ve become quite picky over the years (Sicilian baroque will do that to you). Truth to be told, I didn’t come to...

The Path : snow rackets in Le Grand Bornand, France
Neither François or I really know how to ski, so when we went to the mountains last winter, rackets it was. It was an incredibly warm March day, and pretty soon we were in t.shirts, walking in the...

The scene : Horses of Cantal, France

Panorama : stained glass windows, Cantal, France
Can I say that I’ve never really been a fan of stained glass? I saw a lot of it in the Gothic churches of my childhood and pretty much always failed to really appreciate them. I started to change my...

The view : Le Chinaillon, France
Walking in sandals today, I have a hard time believing that I was there a month ago, in the middle of the whitest snow. But, still, this was spring snow, so if you’re a mountain rookie like me you...

The good spot : Pizza dei Cioppi, Paris 11, France

Paradise search : Les Genestons, Nyons, France
We spent a week in Southern Drôme last October, and half of it took place in a blissful house right outside Nyons. I might as well confess right now that this wasn’t a completely innocent trip, since...
