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.

le Paysage


I have been trying to get out on my bicycle, away from the noise and dust of the renovation work and away from the book. On that front I am inputting images and writing captions. We are close. Mostly I cycle up to town and back which is about 20k. But there have been some trips such as at the weekend when we cycled with a friend and tried to get to St. Emillion. A restaurant waylaid us about 2k outside of our destination. The countryside in this area is beautiful as the small roads we use for cycling roll in and out of the vineyards and suddenly you can come upon a windmill, pigeonnier, chateau, or some other lovely stone building.
