All I can say is that Jill is a magnificent guide. Two trips to France with her has captured me forever. Her knowledge, flair, sensitivity to the culture, knowledge of wines, markets, food makes it such a personal learning experience. I felt as tho I’d seen the REAL France each time. Hope to make a third trip soon.

Hi Albert! No need to drink wine or absinthe, it’s still merveilleux. Come on over and go shopping with me!

Carol, merci de votre message. Je suis à Aix depuis trois ans, et en France pendant 10 ans en tout. Oui, French working papers are très difficile d’obtenir. The only thing I can say is to come to France and start your journey.

Bon weekend.
Jill

Merci beaucoup, cher Tate et Jill! C’est magnifique! J’espere beaucoup rendre visite a Provence au futur. (Thanks dear Tate and Jill. This is magnificent! I hope very much to visit Provence in the future. )

Depuis combien de temps avez-vous habite Aix en Provence, Jill? Est-ce que c’etait difficile d’obtenir des documents de travail pour la France? (How long have you lived in Aix en Provence, Jill? Was it hard to get work papers for France?)

Don’t mind me, just showing off my bilingual tendencies. I would love to visit, and even more, I would like to teach English in France. If you have any suggestions, Jill, please pass them on to Tate to convey to me. Have a great weekend.

Tate,

Hope you enjoyed your day off. Everyone behaved perfectly except for a little jealousy flare.

Thanks for this – lots of fun!

Thanks Jill and Tate. I thoroughly enjoyed this post. I’ll be thinking of French things for the rest of the day.
