A French Collection Interviewed by French Views
It's always a pleasure to meet fellow bloggers who are as passionate about France as I am, and to share what we love together. Carole from French Views was born in England but has spent the majority of her life in Sydney, Australia, so she's practically a neighbour at only 160kms away - Australia is a BIG country! Carole loves travelling and in particular to France and her blog French Views has come from her desire to share those travel experiences, and inspire others to travel independently.
When Carole approached me to find out more about how and why we came to buy a house in France, what our life looks like and how we make it work spreading our everyday living between the northern and southern hemispheres, I was delighted to be interviewed and share my story with her lovely readers.

Here's a tiny snippet of what we chatted about:
Carole:
Thank you for being a part of the French Views community. Can you please share with us the story of your fascination with France?
Annette:
Bonjour Carole and thank you for the invite to join and participate in your wonderful French Views community. Well, where do I start? You know, I’d never ever visited France, but decided one day after cooking French food at home a lot, reading French gardening books and admiring French décor, that I’d like a home in France. It had to be a holiday home because we live in New South Wales, Australia. I had also been watching TV shows of British couples buying and relocating to France and decided I wanted to do that too. So, I guess my fascination with France was an abstract one, having never visited the country before. It was an easy decision to take ourselves to France for three weeks and go look for a home to buy.
