The French countryside
Raspberries with an espresso, please
In a busied world, where days seem to slip by, staying connected takes on even greater significance. This newsletter seeks to inspire through shared glimpses of life and moments of togetherness in France—drawing us closer, one story at a time.
This weekend, my parents and I visited my grandparents’ home in Reims to spend priceless time with close family there. Despite the short distance of only one hour and a half apart, conflicting schedules made it challenging to coordinate our trip. It almost felt as though we needed my grandmother to cancel her plans for us to finally decide to go see her in person. We arrived late at night, just in time for our ritual of tasting ice cream together - a gelato featuring a strawberry heart and topped with white chocolate. We settled into our routine of lounging comfortably on the heavily cushioned salon couch, side by side.
