Favorite France blogs

[Chris]

I follow several blogs about living in France. My current favorite is Lost in Arles, written by a wonderful writer/photographer who lives in Arles with her French husband and two lovely dogs.

Anyone have others to recommend?

Chris, the blogs I follow are all Paris based, so may not be what you have in mind.

I have to start with David Lebovitz, who blogs often; is always entertaining/informative and, has a huge following. I'm one of his greatest fans.

Paris by Mouth is another of my favorite blog spots ~ great foodie reviews listed by neighborhood, from multiple contributors. At Home With Patricia Wells has infrequent posts, but I check in with her from time to time.

Lost in Cheese Land and Chocolate & Zucchini are the other blogs I enjoy. They are so different from one another, but each are personal, slightly quirky and fun to follow.

Looking back on my list, food is the theme, though there are enough personal touches about life & love in Paris to keep it lively!

Thanks! I already follow David Lebovitz and love his blog, but I just added the others to my Feedly list. I'm thrilled to see that Patricia Wells is coming out with a new edition of Food Lovers' Guide to Paris. Another (mostly) food blog I like is Chez Bonne Femme. Her most recent post describes her three favorite vacation rentals in France. I've bookmarked that one!

I've bookmarked that one!

Thanks, Chris, so have I! Those little studios in Collioure are just the sort of places I love. And yes, I remember having a lovely time browsing through the 'Lost in Arles' blog last year: that cabanon in the N Luberon caught my eye.

Thanks especially for that Chez Bonne Femme blog, Chris. My daughter-in-law, like the author, is from Des Moines, and I think she would really enjoy it.

And those vacation rentals are definitely worth bookmarking!
