Nuts about France?
The Dordogne does far more with its walnuts than simply attack them with nutcrackers and stick them into a bowl. Walnut oil is for salad dressings—it adds a hint of sweetness—and it’s also used as cooking oil. There are walnut cakes, breads and crunchy macaroon-style biscuits. You can drink walnuts too: walnut wine, liqueurs, aperitifs and digestifs. The alcoholic base for the green walnuts that get picked in mid-June is usually red wine, brandy or eau de vie.

Not all is in Green in France's Countryside
But not all is green in France's garden according to the Guardian ...
Some wild flowers have already vanished from the French countryside. Pheasant's eye, cornflower, corncockle and Venus's looking glass are getting rare. The environment ministry is preparing a plan to preserve these plants, whose life cycle is closely linked to the harvest.
"All over Europe the situation is the same, with these species in serious decline," says Amélie Coantic, at the ministry's wildlife department. "Out of 102 varieties identified in France, 52 are under threat and seven have already disappeared."
For thousands of years they flourished beside wheat and rye and other cereals, but they have not been able to withstand intensive farming. Although they are hardly competitive with the main crop, they have long been treated as weeds.

French Cafe Life
Sitting at a French café sipping an express, watching people, overhearing conversations—it’s always magic, no matter how often it is repeated. Is it the coffee, is it the café, is it the entire experience, replete with the waft of cigarette smoke if the day is fine and your table is outside?
It’s all of the above, and more. It’s the little packet of sugar that sits next to the cup, vying for space with the chocolate covered almond or the Belgian spice cookie called spéculoos that some cafés serve alongside. It’s the server who bends over to take your order and asks, with a certain intimacy that might be reserved just for you, Madame? Monsieur?Read the complete article here

Camping in France - choose Normandy
Normandy Photo by Greenwich Photography
Camping is a delight in France - great campsites, good weather in the Summer (especially in the South) and a chance to enjoy rural France away from the hustle and bustle of city life.
But where to choose in France? You have a wide choice.
A Taste of France proposes Normandy ...
Not to be missed! When you camp in Normandy, you will discover a countryside that is so densely filled with history that you can bike from village to village and find something unique in every single one. Only time will be lacking. In Normandy, with its rich history of gastronomy, you will feast on apples, and cream, sea food and cider. Food is everywhere. From three star restaurants to tiny little cafes, there is something for every palate and budget. You may chose to cook your own food over a gas stove at your campsite and then you will discover the joys of bountiful markets and the oh-so-tempting epiceries (delicatessens) with their trays of quiches, savories and desserts. Even in Normandy, one cannot eat all day (though we might be tempted to do so).

The Best Cream for Age Spots Is Actually One That Will Get Rid Of Patches Naturally
There is no place in France called Provence((tag:Provence)
However France Travel Guide takes us to task!
The official name for the southeastern-most region of France is Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur. As the name suggests, that covers a lot of ground – from its western border with the Languedoc-Roussilon region to its eastern border with Italy, and from the Mediterranean Sea in the south to a lot farther north than you’d expect. Within this region are the administrative départements of Var, Vaucluse, Bouches-du-Rhône, Alpes-de-Haute-Provence, Alpes-Maritimes and Hautes-Alpes.
Some consider Vaucluse and Bouches-du-Rhône as “Provence,” leaving the “Alpes” part to Alpes-de-Haute-Provence, Alpes-Maritimes and Hautes-Alpes. But that doesn’t account for the Côte d’Azur, widely assumed to be located in Alpes-Maritimes, and it leaves out Var altogether, which is a sizeable chunk of real estate. Of course you could say, with reason, that the Côte d’Azur covers the shoreline of the entire region; but like Provence, there is no one place or département actually called “Côte d’Azur,” so… maybe it’s more of a state of mind? Also, would anyone in the Alps ever say they were in “Provence” or the “Côte d’Azur”?
The article continues with more useful information about logistical links to help you plan a trip to Provence, some tips on why you should hire a car and places to visit.

Carcassonne - a wander around La Cité
On the blog Sallys Chateau, she describes a stroll up to the Fortress ...
La Cité especially on stunning beautiful still Autumn evenings such as the other night. 2b and I decided we would indulge in one of our favourite pastimes so armed with his new toy, a Fujifilm finepix S3200 off we set, a couple of hours spent simply and quietly enjoying being together. Mother and Son. Priceless.
There seemed to be a lot of activity around Place St Jean with glamorous looking people wafting about. It was being whispered that this was the film crew with actors and actresses presumably commencing filming of Kate Mosse's wonderful book 'Labyrinth'. Another blockbuster film to put Carcassonne even more firmly on the world map !! We sat and sipped our cool beer and watched with interest as they all twittered and fluttered with each other.

Quality of Life #1 in France
The Index calculates an overall quality of life score for ten European nations - based on 16 factors including net income, VAT and the cost of essential goods such as fuel, food and energy bills, as well as lifestyle issues like hours of sunshine, days holiday, working hours and life expectancy.
It also reports that France may have achieved the highest Quality of Life score, but most people would actually prefer to live in Spain, which took second place. In a poll, 13% of Brits said that if they could live in any European country they would choose Spain, while 7% chose France.
Where did the UK figure? It is officially the worst place to live in Europe. Despite having higher than average pay, the UK’s overall score in the uSwitch Quality of Life Index was dragged down by long working hours, the lowest number of holiday days a year, a high retirement age, the most expensive food, high energy prices and higher than average petrol costs, as well as very few hours of sunshine.

How to Save Money in Rural France
Article from Chez Loulou titled: How We Save Money in France
Here are 10 things that we save money on by living in rural France.
1) Health Care - Yes it costs, but it is nothing compared to what it would cost us in the States. A visit to the doctor is €23 and an X-ray is about €46. And the state picks up 70% of that
2) Wine - Local AOC red or rosé is about €2-4 a liter
3) Three course lunch menus at local restaurants - They average about €13-15, usually with wine. Coffee is extra and cost about €2 more
4) Cheese - Sometimes it might seem un peu cher, but compared to the French cheese prices I saw at Whole Foods last year, I don't feel guilty about satisfying my cravings
5) Internet - I still think that €34 a month, including free calls within Europe and to North America, is a darn good price
6) Fruit and vegetables - Buy what's in season and you'll get your Five A Day for about a Euro a day
7) Caudalie - While I wouldn't call this range of skincare "inexpensive"...the prices are definitely better here than they are across the pond
8) Bread - Our local boulangerie charges 85 cents for a baguette and €1,15 for une flûte
9) Café drinks - Wine, pastis, beer on tap and most coffee drinks are still fairly reasonable, but prepare to pay a premium if you're craving a Coca-Cola or a Gin & Tonic
10) Olive oil - I'm sure this is a regional thing. We live in the south of France and there are olive groves all over the place, so the price of a liter is a bargain
Reference: How We Save Money in France
I am sure in the UK rural living is much more expensive especially with petrol costs, and grocery bills rising every week.

Day Care in France
Expatica recently published an interesting article about Day Care - here is an extract....
France has a generous pre-school and daycare centers but it can still be challenging to find an open spot, especially in Paris. Here's how to find a daycare and successfully put your child in daycare.French education system
Parents can send their babies to both publicly and privately run nurseries, called crèches, as soon as the child is three months old (the end of the average maternity leave).French public nurseries and daycare centres are funded by local and regional authorities and by means-tested parental fees. Most are open 11 hours a day and close only for one month over the summer period, as well as on public holidays.
All public and private nursery staff must meet strict standards of training, and are required to hold a childcare diploma. For information on the crèches or haltes garderies in your area, consult your local town hall, mairie.
