  34. Suzanne Grosso Vidal

Thirty-plus years in France. French citizenship. An American accent she has never lost and long since stopped apologising for. Suzanne has been a contributor to MyFrenchLife™ – MaVieFrançaise® for years, and if you’ve found her work, you’ll know exactly why she belongs here.

She came to France by chance, followed her French husband from Boston in 1992, and never really left. She has lived in five regions, raised children in a foreign culture, and now writes and photographs life in the South, around Le Puy Sainte Reparade, twenty minutes north of Aix-en-Provence.

  • On France after thirty years: “Living in France is like living in a museum. No matter where you go, there is a story to tell.”

  • On identity: “I think I’m not serious enough to be French.”

Avec toute ma gratitude, Suzanne.
