Behind the Photos VII
My first spring in Le Petit Village. I had already gotten to experience summer, fall, and winter here but spring was the last. When we left France to go to the States to get married, snow was on the ground, but when we returned, flowers were beginning to blossom and Le Petit Village began to…

the latest
++ The last time I was in the old Le Petit Village, I noticed this Corsican flag waving in the wind… Child Bride’s parents hung it from the top of their apartment building. They aren’t from Corsica by the way, they’re from Marseille, but as every south of France dweller knows, there are some people…

Scenes from a Christmas
{Papa’s house} My Le Petit Village Christmas kicked off at 6:30A.M.. Why so early you ask?

That means that most of the wives here have been abandoned by their husbands for a walk through the forest with a shotgun and a dog, while les sangliers (boar) run for their lives. Papa’s Wife is one of the hunting widows, so Sunday lunches have gone from…

Autumn Redux
Since Autumn is in full swing here in Le Petit Village, I’d thought I’d share with you my classic tale of one of The LPV’s favorite Autumn activities; mushroom foraging. Except in this tale, I didn’t do the foraging, Papa did. I simply dealt with the aftermath (the grizzly, horrible, aftermath).Originally posted: 22 October 2009 …

there's more than one way to skin a courgette
Whether you say zucchini or courgette, if you grow vegetables in the summer, there’s a good chance that you end up with a bountiful crop of them, especially if you grow vegetables here in the South of France like Papa.
