Australians in France by Catherine Berry

Annette Charlton Interviewed For Series, Australians in France, by Catherine Berry

Catherine Berry, Australian author of ‘But You Are in France Madame’ has been writing an ‘Australians in France’ series where she interviews and shares the stories of Australians living in France.

Catherine is keen to share these stories because after publishing her book ‘But You Are in France Madame’ she is contacted frequently by people asking about the idea, or voicing their dreams of spending some time in France. As a result, she is sharing as many stories as she can to demonstrate that there is no ‘right’ way to do it and that it is possible, and along the way her interviewees give some practical hints on the steps to take.

What Living in France Means To An English Expat

What Living In France Means To An English Expat

Moving from a comfy English farmhouse in Devon to an old stone barn that needed major repair deep in the French countryside is a big move that could’ve ended badly. But for English expat couple Helen and Merv, it has given them the quiet, rural life they dreamed of and much more.

When I catch up with Helen and Merv on my trips to France, I am always in awe of the beautiful way they describe the benefits they’ve experienced since moving to rural France.
