"Heureusement, I was recently back in my beloved Provence.  After spending a few days in Paris, showing all the sights to my 8th grade students, we sped off very early in the morning on the TGV,  bound for Avignon.  Upon our arrival,…"

"There may not be anything new for you, but here are a few books that I have read and that I like: Comfort me with apples, by Ruth Reichl. I like also biographies, so some of the books are about the chefs themselves.The perfectionist by Rudolph…"

"Wow, I finally found someone who, like me, likes to devour books about food/cooking/France. I love to read, I love to cook, and I am always on the lookout for new 'food' stories. Thanks to your article, I can now add some new ones to my…"

"Bienvenue! I love this site! I only belong to two groups-- Provence Je t'aime and a teachers' group. But there is so much here... always the possibility of new penpals in the US and in France! Bisous, mon amie! Teresa"

Kings of Pastry

On April 8, Durham, North Carolina and the Full Frame Documentary Festival hosted the North American premier of the film Kings of Pastry. It is a jewel of a film. It follows the M.O.F. competition for pastry chefs in Lyon and features Chef Jacquy Pfeiffer as he competes for the sacred bleu, blanc et rouge collar. I write monthly for my local paper, The Durham Herald-Sun, and wrote about the movie for my April column. This movie is a must-see for lovers of anything and everything French! I hope…See More

A wonderful new friendship

I met Olivier Allemand through his "I love Provence" group as soon as I joined New York in French. I couldn't resist that group because I spent 6 months in Provence in 2008. Olivier's posts about Provence took me right back there! Olivier put his son's English teacher in touch with me and we became penpals, but better yet, our students are now penpals and correspond regularly. Last month, in March, while in France with my 8th grade students, we visited our new penpals' school. We spent two… Continue
