About Us

We are two friends who, in addition to working together for more years than is polite to mention, have found ourselves vacationing together in Brittany, France, for many years.  Virginie has more of an excuse… she is French and grew up spending summers in a small town on the rugged coastline.  Megan, while loving many things French, has less of an excuse and, having invited herself the first year, has become the de facto travel agent for all subsequent years of vacations!

We used to have the same day job training horses and teaching English riding lessons. Virginie still does this.  Megan pretends (but fails to be convincing) that she doesn’t work at the barn anymore by having a “real job” in the wine industry, which, lo-and-behold, encourages trips to France…”for work”…

We each have a son in the same grade at a public school where everything is taught in French (so of course we have to visit "for their education").

Megan LOVES entertaining and has more plates, silverware, platters, tablecloths and napkins than anyone rightfully needs.  Virginie is not so hot on this, but washes dishes pretty darn well and plays along because… well, that is what friends do when they have little choice in the matter! 

Virginie speaks fluent French.  Megan’s French is a bit rusty.  Throughout the years, this has not deterred them from eloquently or poorly chatting with the stall vendors at all of the jolis marchés to find out where they find their coated material.  Because what we both knew for sure is that we couldn’t be the only ones tired of washing tablecloths… and something HAD to pay for our next trip to France!
