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.

By Bread Alone











This morning we went to the weekly market in Montpon. It is a market with a different spirit from that of Ste. Foy-more of the Dordogne as it were. Our favorite boulangerie there was sporting a trophy and designation of "winner of the best bread in the Dordogne 2009" for its tourte. How could we resist? We bought a small-sized tourte. They bake the bread in a wood-fired oven for all to watch.
