In between quaint villages and bustling cities, off the freeways yet not quite on the backroads, there lies another France: the France of small to middling towns. 

Even having lived here for 35 years, I can’t get enough of them.  They definitely deserve their own publication!

So welcome to France in Between, where I bring you in-depth exploration of places most French people couldn’t pin on a map. Here, I share my jaunts, overnighters, and road trips – as they take place.

By subscribing, you’ll be getting not only history and travel information about my destinations, but a realistic look at their charms, their changes, and their challenges.

Paid subscribers get bonus newsletters, brimming with news from these oft-ignored cities: mainly culture, commerce, and cuisine, with a bit of controversy for good measure. I’ll also delight in sharing glimpses of the Occitanie region that I call home.

Come along for the ride and get a fresh vision of what makes French towns tick!

A French-American dual national, I've lived in the enchanted Aveyron department in Occitanie for nearly 30 years. "France in Between" is my ode to small-to-middling French towns.
