I'm really excited and happy about this issue of The Good Life France Magazine. it has something for everyone who loves France. Medieval towns, festivals for Valentine’s Day, an amazing and unique snow artist in France (p54) and a tour of the bridges of Paris. We take a look at an extraordinary castle building project (p16), discover a strange friendship brotherhood (p50) and remember the old days of travelling to France (p22). If you want inspiration for Valentine's Day we have three great and very different suggestions including the fabulous violet festival of Toulouse (p58). We have some wonderful French recipes for you to try at home for Valentine’s Day and La Chandeleur (p78), a gastronomic pancake event in February.
If you dream of living in France you’ll love our interview with a family who’ve made the move to France already. They bought a chateau in southwest France that they saw on the internet while in Australia (p34). They are restoring this abandoned and unloved castle to its former glory by hand – a very unusual and special DIY project.
Despite the cold weather in France this is a great time to make new goals and plans and if that includes looking for a home in France then now is a great time to look and we tell you why (p72).
In France it is normal to wish friends a Happy New Year throughout January and even in to February so I wish a very Bonne Année to you all and I hope you enjoy this issue…
