 “Sitting here at my computer, I sometimes feel a million miles away from the office in Périgueux and even further from Paris. But each month when my copy of ‘French News’ arrives in my boîte aux lettres I am reminded that I am not alone, one of almost 100 contributors painting a picture of our little corner of France. The diversity of topics covered is amazing and not only shows the varied elements of life and its ups and downs in France but also what a diverse bunch we contributors are. When I first arrived here in the Roussillon just over five years ago, and started wriing for the paper I was like a child running around in a sweet shop. Surrounded by so much art, history, Catalan culture and heritage I was spoilt for choice of subjects and my enthusiasm knew no bounds. Today, ‘real’ life in the Roussillon is full of people and stories of the moment. Innovations in all types of industry, private and public construction and improvements, economic growth and contemporary arts, food and drink. I am optimistic about the future here and as my grasp of French improves and my contacts increase I hope I will continue to bring you a taste of the Roussillon each month.” |
