As soon as Noël is over, the time for étrennes is around the corner. Since the 18th century, when you give your postman his étrennes, he gives you a calendar which you hang in your kitchen until next year...(Unless the postman had one too many apertif on his way to your place.)
Je me sens généralement toujours à ma place lors de mes différentes expériences à l'étranger. Je suis totalement moi-même et je profite de la vie. Peu importe l'endroit où je pose mes valises pour quelques jours ou quelques mois, je sais que mon voyage est légitime.

Come with us to experience French life beyond the cliché.
