A Glimpse Inside the Book

Step into a charming French seaside town and experience a year of life, love, and laughter under the Mediterranean sun.

Tucked inside this beautifully illustrated book, you’ll find an intimate, year-long portrait of life in the South of France. Through a series of warm and engaging essays—many originally shared with my devoted readers—I capture the joys and challenges of daily life in a bustling seaside town.

From local marchés to family milestones, language mix-ups to unexpected friendships, this book is filled with humor, resilience, and the beauty of embracing life’s twists and turns in my adopted country. Alongside my husband, Jean-Marc, our grown children, and my spirited mother, Jules, I share a touching portrait of multigenerational family life under the Mediterranean sun.

Perfect for Francophiles, armchair travelers, and lovers of personal stories, A Year in a French Life is a heartwarming invitation to slow down, savor the moment, and find joy in the everyday.

This is a crucial moment! Early sales play a key role in helping my book gain visibility on Amazon. Simply put, when many readers purchase the book on the same day, it helps move it from the bottom of the "shelf" to front and center, making it easier for others to discover.

If you’ve been planning to buy a copy, today is the best time to do it!
