Francophiles discussion

Please add your French Blogs to this thread.

Mine is not entirely about France, Linda, but mostly:

I have written a blog about life in SW France since 2010. It's called Life on La Lune, after the locality in which we live. There's always something new to discover here in France.

I also like blogs by:

Writer Deborah Lawrenson (The Lantern, The Sea Garden), who has a place in Provence:

And American writing friend Evelyn Jackson who lives nearby in SW France and writes about her life here:

There are oodles more blogs about France but those two are consistently my favourites.

My virtual book tour company, exclusively for books written in English and set in France, so perfect niche for you: http://francebooktours.com. Very affordable prices for authors. Go have a look. You'll find all the details on the Author Application Tab. You can see in the sidebars and menus all the famous authors and publishers we have had so far.
If you are a reader, sign up to get the book you want to review for free. You can post your review on Goodreads, if you don't have a book blog

Hello Linda, Here are my French Blogs. I do have a guest blog included in my list, but all the others are about our lives in France.

Thank you, Linda, for the invitation and for giving new life to this group. My blog began as a "love note" to my favorite author, Marcel Proust, and expanded to include my first novel, in which Marcel is the main character. The link is: https://marimann.wordpress.com/
I invite all here to visit my blog and leave their "madeleine moment" :)

My blog is partly about our daily life and travels in France, by bike and by Mini Cooper and part book review/author interview blog. I am passionate about all things French and love helping authors to promote their books set in France. http://www.frenchvillagediaries.com/

Thank you Fiona X

on my book blog, Words And Peace, I review a lot of books related to France. I also organize a French reading Challenge every year (books you can read in English or French). This year, it's in the shape of a Bingo, and its not too late to join. You can also see the entries just to give you an idea what to read next!: http://wordsandpeace.com/2014/12/01/f...

My blog is about all sorts of things connected to my life in France. In particular, about 'Tottie's Tours of the Auvergne' which I run, to help people to discover this beautiful and little-known part of central France. http://tottielimejuice.com/category/l...

Hi, LM, I think we "met" on Ailsa Abraham's blog when she featured you. I remember the Tottie Limejuice moniker!

Ha-ha, yes indeed, I believe we did! There are few of us of that name ;)

Hi Linda, I lived for several years in France with my young family, returning to Australia 3 years ago. Whilst there, I wrote purely for my own pleasure (and because I was a bit timid to put myself out there!). I now love to search out new blogs (e.g. I have landed here through Jacqueline's French Village Diaries), and have one of my own called, But you are in France, Madame ! http://butyouareinfrancemadame.blogsp... I would love to invite more people over to it. Thank-you

Hello Catherine and so pleased my blog led you here! I've signed up to get your blog updates by email.

Hi Catherine. I popped over to your blog. Thanks for sharing :)

Great blog and wonderful photos! I took a look, too, and added a comment (under "Working Girl").

Bonjour les francophiles
I’ve been enjoying myself looking at the latest additions to the blog list, just salivated over the French Delicacies, Catherine! My blog is subtitled ‘Get passionate…’ the idea being to link literature (reading and writing) with various topics which got me excited, so while not exclusively about France, some posts have French connections e.g. Biarritz and Victor Hugo, Toulouse and Saint-Exupéry, Cordes-sur-Ciel and Nabokov, le pays basque and Mark Kurlansky , Paris and Apollinaire etc. Thanks to those who have already posted comments, always a pleasure to hear from readers. http://laurettelong.com/
Bon weekend à tous!

Hi Linda, thank-you for all the time and effort you are putting into this group. I'm sure I'm going to love being in touch with fellow francophiles!

Aww...thanks for your kind words, Catherine. I'm having fun with the group. It's nice to hear that others appreciate the effort :)

Thanks, Catherine, going to look at your blog now. I'm an Australian too, living in France for over 20 years now!

I paid a visit to your blog. What a lovely site. Best of luck to you!

Lovely website, Les... all the best! I'm in a small village just west of Lyon (20 years now!)

I'm doing an article on "best Paris blogs." Do people have any favorites?
("Girl's Guide to Paris" is very popular. Am looking for a few more...)
Merci!

What a great site! I have just spent some time clicking around it. So glad to have found you....

Lovely site, Laura!

Laura, your site is very appealing. I've lost so much of my French, I can't enjoy the posts as much as I'd like. Maybe the challenge is good for me.

Hi all! I'm a little bit late to the show, but I've had such a nice time clicking through some of these French lifestyle blogs :)

Would love to share mine, Almost Pure French at http://www.almostpurefrench.com

Just looked at your blog, Alex. Lovely pictures! I've been to Toulouse a couple times (different lifetime) and also a major fan of Iceland. Fun!

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed them :) Toulouse is such a gem - I'm really enjoying living here and discovering it!

Hello Francophiles. There really are some cool sites on this thread. I'm a writer living in Poitou-Charentes, France, and I blog about writing and cultural events - often bilingual literary festivals etc. - in the area. I'm also fascinated by the differences between the French and the British.

Love your site, Harriet! Really enjoyed the cat post (even though our particular cat was naughty just this morning). Are all your books YA?

Hi Karen. Glad you liked the site, and thanks for taking the time to tell me so! In answer to your question, my forthcoming novel, Tree Magic, is YA (though adults have enjoyed it too, as it's apparently quite a thought-provoking book). However, my short stories are for adults. There are links to them from my website. Have a lovely day, Harriet.

My blog, LaVieAnnRose.com - lover of all things French and finding the Parisian spirit all over the world. Also, you'll find updates and event listings for my book BRIGHT LIGHTS PARIS

This isn't my blog, but one I follow. Tamara at Thyme-for-tea.blogspot.com (https://thyme-for-tea.blogspot.com/20...)
hosts an annual challenge called Paris in July.

I've participated the last 3 years and its a wonderful way to get to know more Franophiles, learn about new books, music, movies and recipes.
