My passion for France originates from the age of ten, when I lived in France with my family in the city of Versailles, within walking distance of ‘The Chateau.’  Frequent visits to France have lead me to buy a property in Montpellier which I will gladly make available to you. Brielle my eldest daughter followed my footsteps and not only schooled in France but has more recently been part of the crew of three wonderful barges that ply the scenic waterways of Burgundy and the picturesque south.
