Steve & Rachel Are Going To France (Recommendations Welcome!)
May 6th, 2011 | Rachel
Steve and I are officially heading to France at the end of the month for two weeks!
On our agenda so far are the French Open and lots of driving. If you have suggestions about where we should go, what we should eat, what we should drink, where we should stay, etc., please share in the comments! Also, if anyone knows how to get tickets to the French Open, please let us know.
Silly idea?

Ever since I started this blog (three whole days ago), I’ve been thinking about what I would think of a blog created by someone living in France — or anywhere else, really — about their dream of moving to the U.S. and their obsession with American culture. I would probably find it to be rather silly. With that in mind, I assure you that I’m not going to simply list French things I like… a post on crepes, a post on Monet, a post on some other French cliche.
On the other hand, I live in New York City, and I am sure there are many people out there who fantasize about living here. Maybe someone even writes a blog about it. If you happen to be that person, 1.) I’d love to hear about it, and 2.) I’ve been here three years and I agree that New York City is dream- and blog-worthy.
Today I cashed in on a promised Christmas present of a cookbook and will soon receive a copy of Mastering the Art of French Cooking. Although Julia Childs was not French and although Slate thinks I can’t handle it, I hope I am advanced enough in my cooking skills to at least cook up a pot of boeuf bourguignon.
Honestly, I’d rather be in France.

Thanks for stopping by. We’ll eventually get into the details as to why I felt the need to start this blog and why I would rather be in France, but suffice it to say, I am a late twenty-something living in New York City. I have a corporate job, but I dream of moving to the french countryside and opening a bed and breakfast.
Hopefully you’ll follow along in this quest to fulfill that dream. I will be writing about travel, cuisine, real estate, culture, and general Francophilia. I promise it’ll be worth your while.
Thanks for stopping by!
