Hi Carole,
Thanks for sending me your blogpost on France - and most especially mentioning the Memoir workshop in Paris. In fact, there is currently only one place left so perhaps one of your readers will snap up the last booking.
You have an interesting, wide-ranging blog and I am sure many travellers must find it inspiring.
All best,

Dear Carole,
What a lovely surprise to receive your email. We very much appreciate you including our business in your current blog - we offer a genuine creative experience to very small groups only, in a very authentic Provençal village. If you’re ever near Jouques do pop in to say hello.
We’re currently spending time with family in Perth and will be in Provence late May through to early November.
Kind regards

New interview @frenchviews, link at my author
website. I immediately connected with Carole
over a Zoom call. Carole is travel blogger from
Australia and shares with me a passion for
France. Carole and her husband Chris travel
much like Courtney and me, seeking out
authentic interactions and unique experiences.
Her blog is outstanding and follows not only her
travels to multiple different French regions, but
also features interviews with authors of books on
France. If you are a Francophile or just love travel,
following Carole and her blog is a must! We have
not been to the Pyrenees, but after reading her
latest series of posts, we have added this region
to our list. I am so pleased to have a new friend in
Australia and hope to cross paths with Carole and
Chris in France one day.
The joy is in the people you meet along the
journey. Happy travels!

Hi Carole
It has been such a nice trip down memory lane answering your questions.
It's always a pleasure to meet fellow bloggers who are as passionate about France as I am, and to share what we love together. Carole from French Views was born in England but has spent the majority of her life in Sydney, Australia, so she's practically a neighbour at only 160kms away - Australia is a BIG country! Carole loves travelling and in particular to France and her blog French Views has come from her desire to share those travel experiences, and inspire others to travel independently.
When Carole approached me to find out more about how and why we came to buy a house in France, what our life looks like and how we make it work spreading our everyday living between the northern and southern hemispheres, I was delighted to be interviewed and share my story with her lovely readers.

One of the great things about Bikestyle Tours is the amazing people you meet and understanding what lasting memories our trips leave with guests. Recently Carole and her husband Chris reached out with an interesting request.
Carole and Chris traveled with Bikestyle Tours way back in 2009 and I was fortunate enough to be their guide for the Tour de France. A lot has changed since then, Carole and Chris now write a blog about their experiences in France and I went from a cycling guide to the owner of Bikestyle Tours. We sat down to talk about the Bikestyles Tours and how I came to own the business. You can read the full story here on Carole and Chris's blog - French Views.

“J’adore chatting to people as crazy about France as I am! So the wonderfully warm papotage avec FrancoFilers Carole @frenchviews and her cycling husband Chris was loads of fun! Such beautiful people to “escape” to France with during the current Aussie lockdowns! Merci Carole @frenchviews & Chris for sharing your fabulous stories of riding, walking & hanging with Le Tour de France at Mont Ventoux! I just love a French market! Chatting with Carole @frenchviews in the latest LFF podcast ep I found I’m not the only one! The smells of exquisite produce, the sounds of people, the vibrant colours, plus the chance to connect with the locals are what make a market so special for me. French-Australian connection. Villers-Bretonneux is where I’ve felt it most in all my French travels. I chatted about our Aussie link to the village in northern France with Carole @frenchviews & Chris @chrishandelphotography in the latest Loulabelle’s podcast episode. Such a moving place.

Kind regards

Thanks so much for letting me know, Carole. It’s a wonderful article and I really appreciate you including French Affair. Doesn’t your cushion look fabulous in its new home! Perfect colour matching ..
I have shared your article on my Facebook page as well. Please drop in to say “bonjour” if you make the trip to the Bowral French market. Look forward to seeing you again then.

www.frenchaffair.com.auHi Carole
I feel privileged to have read our travel blog last night.
Great writing and great pictures. I especially liked the Anzac info regarding your
forebears.
Given the opportunity I can see you would move permanently to France, perhaps
managing the XXX Paris Office.
I will suggest it to Paul and Anne.
Kind regards,
Dr Peter K (work colleague) 30th April 2021

Long time no see!
Great blog post, I remember that day well, and you holding the reflectors for the models. What a star.
I can't wait to get back to travelling, another Paris workshop is about due. Take care

This is fantastic what you have wrote
It’s such a shame we weren’t able to attend Anzac Day this year again it was officials only.
I hope we can get back to touring very soon
Stay safe and warm regards to you
