Each day I fall in love all over again


As we were walking yesterday, just as we do almost daily now that the weather is warm, I didn’t think much about the houses, cars or the fact that I heard nothing but French being spoken around me. I passed French bakeries with only a small amount of drooling, now have dog doo radar [...]

Happy Fathers Day

The Pagan wall (Le mur païen)- Vosges


The iron age pagan wall was built around 4000 BC. However, there is no real way to know how or when this wall was really built.

You can still run your fingers inside the fittings for the wood used to hold the wall together. The wood is long gone but the space for the fittings [...]
