Bonjour et Bienvenue.

Bonne Année ! Happy New year!

Finally, I've decided to write a blog, Thanks to my Instagram friends and followers (www.instagram.com/french_manoir). I am not a great writer but I will try it anyway.

English is my 3rd language, just to let you know.

After 5 years of traveling back and forth between Down under and France. My husband and I decided to spend more time in France. We are moving to our beloved french country home( AKA: the french manoir) in February. I am overjoyed but anxious at the same time. I have a mile long list of things to do when I arrive in France.

I hope to share with you so many things such as what I've learned buying a dilapidated manoir in France, how to buy a house in beautiful french countryside, flea market, brocante, and antique shopping tips, foods , gardening , visiting Paris and sounding. There are so many things that I could share with you all. Please do let me know if there is anything you want to know , I will be happy to write about..

Living full time in french countryside might not be easy and challenging as We are coming from metropolitan but I am determined to make it work and have fun along the way.
