Bon weekend journal #95
Get ready for Spring with our weekend journal number 95.
Only five more weeks till we hit the big 100 newsletter mark. To help me celebrate this milestone - I’m rather astounded that we’re nearly at a ‘century’ of weekend newsletters - I’m asking for your help. If you have friends or family who you think would love to learn more about French culture, get travel tips or traditional French recipes and learn about living in France, then please share my newsletter with them and suggest they subscribe to A French Collection (it’s free, as you know).
I can’t wait to welcome your friends and family, and share this amazing country with them too. Let’s make this milestone something special!

Easter, the Eiffel Tower’s birthday, April Fool’s Day, Van Gogh’s birthday and the commencement of daylight saving all happen over the next week and a half - so I’ve shared posts on these topics to keep you ‘in the know’. Watch out for our latest post ‘Easter Traditions in France’ which will be landing in your inbox in the next couple of days.
Lastly, don’t forget to change your clocks before you go to bed on 30 March for daylight savings, or as it’s called in France ‘spring time’. The time will not be changed again until 27 October, when winter time (standard time) will return. Of course, you can also stay awake until 2:00am to wind forward your clocks to 3:00am, which is when the time officially changes. For me, I prefer to go to bed after changing any watches and manual car clocks in the early evening and sleep peacefully through the 2:00am change… hehe!!
Here’s a rather nice and succinct explanation of daylight saving I found.
“Daylight saving time, also referred to as daylight saving, daylight savings time, daylight time, or summer time, is the practice of advancing clocks to make better use of the longer daylight available during summer, so that darkness falls at a later clock time.” - Wikipedia
Enjoy your weekend, and thanks again for sharing A French Collection with your friends.
