I have no idea whether Linda is a kindred spirit, but her blog speaks to me. She too seems to love France as much as I do -- (according to her tag line, "she lives in Paris and in Provence. Follow her adventures as she learns her way around France"> ), she shares a name with my own Lalinde, or La Linda (as a reader, Víctor Michelón, from his Lamagahoy blog recently pointed out - "pretty", "source of joy"), and as I said to her, it feels as if she looks at life through the same camera lens as I do. Go have a look -- it is a beautiful blog, called Frenchless in France.
And then there is a new website about the Dordogne Perigord. I am not sure whether it is in fact 'new', but if not, then I am surprised that I have not discovered it before. It is beautifully presented, very comprehensive, up to date (!) and contains just about everything you need to know if you are intending to visit this area, looking for a good restaurant, wanting to rent a chateau, holiday in the Dordogne or in South West France. This is definitely a site to bookmark!
And a little gem I happen to find the other day: it is the Virtual Yellow Pages of France.
Type in any address in any of the bigger centres of France and voila! a photograph comes up of that building! You can pick a street in Paris or Bordeaux, Nantes, Rennes, Strasbourg, Marseilles -- and many more, and wander up and down the street, looking at the buildings, the little restaurants or the shops in that street --- in fact, on both sides of the street!
If you happen to be looking at buying a property and wish to see what the building looks like, or what the street is like where it is, the environment or the neighbourhood, or you are planning a holiday and you want to see what the area of a hotel looks like, or whether there are lots of traffic in the street, or what the view would be like out of your window, then this is the answer!
BUT BE WARNED: If you are anything like me, you will find that once you start, time will fly and before you know it, you will have been wandering around the streets of a beautiful French city for hours, without even realising how long!
