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.

Medieval Town - Medieval Feast







Issigeac is a beautiful town that retains much of it's medieval character. Period films are regularly made here and it also has a lively market on Sundays. Now that spring is here the region is particularly active with festivals and community meals. Issigeac hosted a medieval dinner with soup, blood saussage, foie gras, hams, and white beans using some "authentic" cooking techniques.
