I love looking through Instagram, dreaming of long days and beautiful holidays in France! Sometimes I end up following particular accounts more than others and the way they portray their version of France just “clicks” with me. This was the case with Emily Lawrence Gazal @frenchobsessed. I messaged her and asked if I could chat to…

In 2017 I was fortunate enough to take part in a most amazing and life changing trip on an immersion with my French class at the time. Just recently I chatted to the beautiful Nathalie Foos in Loulabelle’s FrancoFiles episode 32. Nathalie runs A French Journey in Melbourne Australia and organised this incredible immersion together with Rosemary Vine…

I have travelled to France numerous times with ma belle amie Karen Grooby. At home in Australia we try to keep our FrancoFile hearts satisfied with activities like French yoga, French themed festivals and restaurants, as well as cooking French food for our friends.

My fascination with France has been inherited from my darling Dad. I have been so very fortunate to travel to Paris and regional France with Papa, and still learn French with him now, home in Australia. An afternoon in the garden together at his house, with French music in the background and lovely chats en…

I loved connecting with Ruby Boukabou again! She has such an amazing energy! I always leave a chat with Ruby feeling like I can take on the world and simultaneously that I’ve had a beautiful Parisian experience. In this chat Ruby talked about how she has stayed busy during COVID, from writing her book The…

One of the things I have most loved about doing my podcast, is the way I get to connect with amazing people around the world with a “fabuleux histoire de Paris ou France” to share. We all have one thing in common, and that is our love of all things French. I found Krystal Kenney…

Way way back in LFF episode 2 we were all introduced to some terrific music by an unknown musician Romain Dupré who is also an old school friend of our favourite French correspondent Sarah Zwick.
