France



Humanity, politeness and a low-stress way of life.
This writer says France beats Britain every time.
Celia Brayfield"Deep France"
WHEN PEOPLE asked me why I was moving to France for a year, I was tempted to reply “because I can”. Who, being British and of sound mind, would pass up the opportunity? I could spend a year in a tiny village in the Béarn, in the extreme southwest, because I am a writer, and since my only child was happily settled at university, my sole responsibility in those 12 months was to write a new novel.
