Evelyne Dufau starts Le BLOG d'Expérience Authentique

 http://www.frenchsouthwest.com/  goes through a major update once a year in the Fall  to launch the program for the following year. Some of you will have an appetite for more frequent snacks on French travel & culture. Throughout the year, Le BLOG d'Expérience Authentique, as a great complement to the web site, will showcase the Southwest of France, its culture and people; it will report on news and festivals relevant to future travels to that region,  as well as major events in Paris and other parts of France. You will find a forum where travellers share their experiences and French locals whose insight I value their passion. Subscribe to the blog  to stay in the loop whenever a new post is published. Alternatively send me an e-mail to get notified by e-mail of new posts. Upcoming posts with true French content will go live in December when I am spending time in France. Stay au courant through LE BLOG d'E.A.!
