Where in France
My first trip to France was in 2007 and lasted nearly a year. I spent the summer in Montpellier, and later moved to Paris completing two semesters of college courses before leaving in 2008. It wasn’t until 2010 that I found my chance to move back to France, this time to Lorgues where I learned the difference between visiting and living in one of those tiny Provançal villages. Finally, in August of 2011 I returned to Paris where I continue to live today.
Below is a list of the areas and cities I’ve visited since I first arrived in France.
