Bonjour, MyFrenchLife™ #bookclub members
Calling Francophiles and those who enjoy REAL stories about LIFE IN FRANCE.
In 1992, at the age of 47, Mark Greenside bought a house—almost by accident—in a tiny Breton village. He has lived there ever since, splitting his time between Brittany and California.
With self-deprecating humour, Mark has written three entertaining books about his life in France. In his latest, I Am Finally, Finally French, he reflects on his three decades in Brittany—what he has learned, how he has become part of his community, and how life in France has changed him.
Join us for a lively and fun conversation with Mark about what life is like in a small Breton village. This conversation will be hosted by MyFrenchLife™ contributor Keith Van Sickle, himself a part-time expat in France, and facilitated by Judy MacMahon
Here you’ll find → a collection of Keith’s reviews of Mark’s books.
I’m looking forward to you joining us at this event.
Judy MacMahon and Keith Van Sickle

Never laughed so hard about a French grocery store moving the brooms. We were new to France back then as well. His first book gave us the courage to continue.
I’m so disappointed I can’t make this session! Mark’s books are hilarious and helped me understand so many things about life in small-town France. Will spread the word!
