My Little One
Small Town France
I moved to a small town in France and I decided I like it a lot. I like it so much I thought to share some experiences with you.
Most days I read a wonderful online web-page called Grenoble Life. This links me with Grenoble – the large city – near my small town. Before I moved here I often read this web-page to learn more about my new home. It makes me feel good about where I live. Also, I met some very friendly people, through this web-page, who helped me become more familiar with this part of France.
I go to the Organic markets every Wednesday and I always buy my eggs from a lovely old man, who has no teeth. He calls me “my little one”. He makes me smile.
The River
Every Sunday I go for a long run along the river. I like to breath the fresh mountain air, listen to the quietness of the town and exercise. After the run I always go and buy a croissant – at the market – to eat with my coffee! A croissant with coffee is one of my favourite moments of the week!
I like living in a new place. It is always fun, even though sometimes it can be stressful. I moved here 2 months ago and in that time I discovered many new things. Some of those things are: new people, new walking tracks, new words, new markets, new bicycles and a new world that gives a lot of pleasure.
Did you discover something new, recently? Please share…

Mrs. Shonah,
Love your story. It makes me really want to visit in a small town like that! Especially the organic food. =)

@Sam I know – it has to be someone to connect me to the place! He is wonderful – not as rotund as the apple man…
@Anneh You are welcome anytime you are in the South of France to come and join me at the markets!

Don’t have a lot of money to buy a car? You not have to worry, because this is possible to take the loan to solve such problems. Thence get a small business loan to buy everything you want.
