Fall 2012

A Note From the Editor

Community Seeds French Connection!

Fall is such a glorious time of the year. It is a time for crisp mornings and chilly evenings, family get-together’s, a new school year, tasty treats as well as kids playing in the leaves.

In this issue, we will touch upon some of the traditional Fall topics, but with a French twist such as; purchasing French wine and being confident about your decision, learning art appreciation French style, easy French holiday cuisine, city playgrounds in France, and places to visit while vacationing in France. I am even going to review a French book about owning and running a French winery as an English speaking immigrant.

As always we had fun putting this issue together and we hope you enjoy it!
Cheers!
