After several years of expat life and work experience in France, I’ve created the France Field Guide, a resource to inspire and help you as you plan your trip or perhaps a move abroad. The majority of my time in France has been in sunny Provence. France Field Guide does include tips to Paris, but it’s chock full of the many colorful corners of France. Albi to Annecy; Aix-en-Provence to Arcachon; Bretagne to Champagne; Gorges du Verdon to Èze; Saint Tropez to Najac; France is so much more than its capital. Just as a field guide documents the flora and fauna of its environment, this magazine is designed to do the same. The pages of the France Field Guide are filled with notes, tips and tricks to understand the lay of the land. This guide germinated from years of weekend trips, expat perspective and daily life.
