I've lived in France since 2017. Paris, then three years in Beaune, now Lyon. I speak French, I know the producers, and I've spent eight years figuring out what actually makes these trips work.

I share what I've learned: which regions connect well by train, which producers are worth the detour, where to eat lunch so the kitchen is still open, and what nobody tells you before you go.

Practical. Specific. Culturally informed.
