About timvrip
I'm an American ex-pat who moved to central France about four years ago, mainly so I could realize my dream of traveling all of Europe without having to cross the pond on every trip. Though Covid has put a damper on the travel, I have fallen in love with living in rural France. The people of this region are some of the nicest people I've ever met. Most of the older folks still respect Americans as friends and liberators. Because this area was also home to the Maquis (French Resistance), there are many historical markers detailing the atrocities of the Nazis. It saddens me to see what the MAGA crowd is doing to the country of my birth. Hopefully, it's not too late to save her. Viva la France! Viva la Etats-Unis!Avatar Image
