Very impressed with those events ! I don't think we will reap many medals in the Olympics but we can surely produce good food ! I have included some delicious French caramels in my give-away because I know how much French produce is appreciated abroad. Love from Normandy XX

Does a nice handsome French man come with Taste of France? I just met the French pastry chef at a hotel I conducted a conference at. He was gorgeous and his desserts were spectacular!

If I didn't live in France (ha ha ha) I would come to this! It sounds like great fun, especially the French Bulldog and the Petanque competitions. Great fun!
