My fridge is full of butter, cheese, and wine🇫🇷🤌😍 What’s something I need to get?! French grocery stores have coin carts, yellow mayo, and pink toilet paper. What more could you want? #expat #france #lifeabroad #aixenprovence❤️ #aix #provence #grocerystore #groceries #expatlife #groceries

When you wanna have a Euro summer but then you remember AC *basically* doesn't exist It was pretty shocking for my first year in Germany, it wasn’t too bad in England since it rarely got too warm, but in France it gets warm! Sometimes Michael can’t sleep at night he gets too warm lol. #summerineurope #americanabroad #expat #eurosummer #lifeabroad #travelreels #france #germany #england #frischeluft #expat

nd no, sadly we could not wait until precisely 4pm so please feel free to lock us up in French jail. BUT… Stop everything and try this. This a traditional goûter: which means “to taste” and it’s so good. It looks underwhelming. But, of course, the French know best when it comes to food. Also Michael made up for cheersing me at the end lol. And you know he had to have a glass of milk. #legouter #gouter #frenchfood #france #french #baguette #snack #expat #lifeabroad #provence #aixenprovence

Gordes, France in Provence is considered one of the most beautiful! But it’s got something up its sleeve. Or should I say… paw? #gprdes #france #gordesprovence #provence #france🇫🇷

So they have nutrition scores on everything but we were laughing so hard that a baguette had a score of... "B" like how is this?! but anything for a baguette And the snail shells... so French! I truly adore grocery stores in France. But I'm loving the markets- should I do one for markets?? #expat #france #provence #french #grocerystore #americanabroad #expatlife

Based on true events this is Michael and I calling to confirm things for our cruises and it's hard meanwhile Americans get roughly 3 days off and I don't think l've personally had a vacation the past 10 years (wouldn't change my job for anything tho)! I remember my first trip abroad we were I. Paris and I said I had 6 days off and the Parisian nearly fell to the ground in shock #expat #cultureshock #france #europevsusa #work #Summer #europeansummer #usavseurope

A story book come to life!! & Here's how to spend the perfect day in Avignon: * Walk the medieval rampart walls — still standing strong after 700 years! Step inside the Palais des Papes, the largest Gothic palace in the world and former seat of 7 popes Grab a coffee in Place de l'Horloge, the city's lively main square Stroll halfway across the Pont Saint-Bénézet (yes, the bridge famously stops in the middle of the Rhône) Browse local shops and markets - pick up lavender, Provençal linens, or tapenade Sip Côtes du Rhône wine at a terrace café Just walk around and get lost! Michael and I are here on a river cruise, we've been to this city a few times before but I feel like l'm seeing it with renewed eyes. This is truly such a special part of the world #avignon #provence #france #provencial #provencealpescôtedazur #provenciallife #avignonfrance

The end 👀🍫What about you? What are your experiences like? I have very, very strong opinions of “nice” ness when visiting a place. I really think it can make or break a trip. And honestly, my friends agree. This post came from a discussion I had wiht friends when they visited us when we spent this past winter in the French Alps. Everytime we had a particularly pleasant interaction, we’d all laugh and go, “gosh, French people are SO rude!” and then laugh because, honestly, it’s the opposite! If I had to choose for the niceest over all it’s Brits and Irish for me. #france #cultureshocks #lifesbroad #expat #provence #aixenprovence #french
