France Tales, the blog

 

France Tales is a blog about moving to and living in France. It covers many practical areas as well as fun areas of life in France. One particularly interesting part is the coverage of new French trends like the Tecktonik and le Parkour. You'll just have to go to the blog to find out about those things. Please come on in.

Living in France

Gotan Project 

based in Paris, from Argentina

The name comes from mixing up the letters of tango. They are like a mix up of tango and electronica, like the name.

Gotan Project - Mi Confesion

This is the video for "Mi Confesion" by Gotan Project. The album is from their critically acclaimed 'Lunatico' (XL Recordings). You can listen to a full stream of the album by visiting http://www.gotanproject.com/sites/lunatico.

Traveling in France 

Where in the world is Lavaur?

France Tales covers traveling all over France. The big places but also the little lesser known places are profiled. There are posts about Lavaur, Beaumont, Sarlat, Carcassonne, Montpelier, Toulouse, Bordeaux, and many other places. France has so many beautiful towns and villages that you cannot possibly find them by yourself. Skip the touristy spots and read about the villages on France Tales.

Whatever else we feel like writing about 

Attention!

It could be politics, cultural differences, strange quirks, strange people we meet, interesting events we attend or decide not to attend, an interesting film you might not get to see, a nice art exhibition, photo opportunities, and just about anything else. You can also suggest things you like to see. We are open to any and all suggestions.

Fantastique! I'm all for a touch of Foie Gras with a drop of vin du pays. But I find the Andouille a little rich for my taste. Good Luck.

Welcome to my Group! Good luck with this project and I wish you all the best in your new country. I'm an expat myself too and know very well that such change is not easy, but I hope you'll love staying in France.
