I've been to every café, lived in every arrondissement, and probably tried every flavor of macaron there is. I’m like the Google Maps of French culture: always there to guide you and sometimes taking you through unexpected detours, but hey, that’s where the fun is, right?

Ready to dive into the world of France without the pesky need for a passport? Well, tuck in your napkin, adjust that beret, and come ride the French wave with moi. And hey, if you're into French fashion or just curious about how many baguettes can fit in a Citroën 2CV, this blog's got your name written all over it (in fancy cursive, of course). À la vôtre! Captain Don 🥐🍷🚗🇫🇷🍕🇮🇹
