Moi and my French inspired life

bonjour –

I’m geneviève, a devout Francophile. I believe in at least three square cups of coffee a day, and in living a French inspired life wherever I am. This is where I share that passion with you. If you are a traveler, student, culture sponge, artist, flâneur, lover of French aesthetic, or curious internet surfer: bienvenue!

I have been learning and speaking French for over half my life. In college I lived in a French town, and have taken many other trips to France. I am spellbound by la vie Francaise and I make it my goal to reflect that in my every day life.

From teaching language classes at my local library, to incorporating French style in my home, and to savoring a delicious meal and glass of wine the way only the French know how, I am a true Francophile to the core. I’m passionate about the French indulgence in simple pleasures that make every day life special, and believe that touches of elegance are essential to a happy, contented life.

I’m also a wife and maman to two little girls who constantly keep me on my toes. They are “macaron” connaisseurs, and know how to pronounce the word correctly. Maman is proud.

I started this blog in early 2020 after having to cancel my trip to Paris because of the global pandemic. Devastated to not be returning to my favorite place on Earth, and bursting with inspiration from my months of research leading up to my planned trip, I sought an outlet to share my passion. From everything you need to know when planning your next trip abroad, to decorating your home with Parisian charm – you’ll find it here.

So, allow me to dazzle you with my easy French-inspired lifestyle tips. I will make your life more simple yet luxurious, refined, and enjoyable. And I’ll show you how!

C’est parti!
