Lately I have had the urge to do a little more French reading
Not the kind of French reading that makes me break into a panic of conjugation and interpretation…
but the easy kind of French reading.
Stories about Paris, about Provence… easy memoirs… recounts of changed lives… romantic meanderings… that kind of thing…
I thought I would share my latest and best ‘french’ musings… from the blogs to the books.
Have you found Paris in Four Months… Carin’s photographs of Paris are so heavenly… I immediately want to jump on the train and follow in her footsteps.
I have mentioned Mimi’s blog, Manger before… even if you don’t follow and make her recipes… they are a visual treat…
Garance Doré… because I love her take on fashion, her infectious way of talking… her energy.
Paris Street Style: A Guide to Effortless Chic… any day now this little gem, written and photographed by two French stylistas, will be available… I am always intrigued when it comes to le style francais.
If you feel like being transported via the Kindle… Thirty Five Minutes from St Tropez by Jane Dunning… or The French House by Nick Alexander.
Mine is loaded up and ready to go… I do enjoy having a smorgasbord (don’t you love that word… ) of light reading for those moments when I am needing an escape or I am travelling and time is fractured.
Have you been ‘French’ reading? What’s your latest?… xv
P.S One to bookmark… I can’t wait for this… Paris: A Novel by Edward Rutherfurd… another of his sweeping sagas… (love that word too…)
