Gearing up for France

We're getting excited about our upcoming trip to France. Just a few more days! We've got a lot more planning to do, but it always gets done. It'll just be Renee and Alexander this time. Watch out, France! This mother and son duo is a force to be reckoned with when it comes to antiques!

In Normandy this trip, we're staying in a new bed and breakfast that looks really charming. It's a fully restored old farm house with a thatched roof typical of the Normandy region. This is our favorite region of France. The rolling hills remind us of the Ozarks, and the people share the same down-to-earth goodness and joie de vivre of the people in our little corner of the world.

So, euros in hand, we're flying out on Saturday with sixteen shopping days ahead of us. Don't forget to send us your wish lists if you're looking for anything in particular (info@frenchmetro.com). We're happy to email photos of things we find along the way...or you can always check back here to see some of the treasures we come across.
