Welcome

We are a retired American couple living in France, enjoying the good life with our cats. Our house is in a small hamlet among the Ste. Foy vines. We also have a sailboat that the male half of the spousal unit sailed across the Atlantic in the summer of 08. When the weather warms we will start to visit the sailing ports of Europe. Our stories chronicle our life in France: the good life, the hard life, and the sailing life.

Market/Foire




Every year on the 20th of March and the 20th of November the town of Ste. Foy hosts a large market/fair. Before the days of the hypermarkets, folks would come from all over the region to buy such necessities are clothes, dishes, pigs, etc. Today the market consisted of lots of shoes, clothes, perfume and these colorful bags.
