I chose the cottage because when Charlotte tells me of all the strange little things you have to get right in France it confused the hell out of me. Visiting will have to do.

Our stays are short enough that the local schools don't want our kids to enroll, plus they would be terrified as they don't know a lot of French. I would love to know that we were staying for awhile and they could have that real immersion experience.<br /><br />I also think the countyside would be fab!<br /><br />Annoying French moment, oh man, they come up almost daily! How about everything being closed for a little-known holiday? Or thinking you have it all figured out, which boulangeries are closed Mondays, and Saturdays, etc. Then you trek across town to check out a new one and it is closed on Tuesday...michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14617050750444837628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-68473939816655823452009-11-13T16:20:41.162-05:002009-11-13T16:20:41.162-05:00I love this one!I love this one!Rick Tulkahttp://www.flickr.com/photos/leselect/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-11484691139873759832009-11-13T16:16:13.940-05:002009-11-13T16:16:13.940-05:00I even visited the blog & ordered the book!
