As reported earlier, we were promised a new newspaper and it has arrived!
And -- it is fabulous!
This is what Nicki Wade - Owner & Publisher, has to say about the new paper:
Our goal is simple - to be France's quality national newspaper in English. To achieve this the paper has four distinctive sections; The 'main paper' has the latest news and critical analysis from across the country, with expert comment, provocative debate and highly practical advice.
The 'Living' section celebrates all that is great about living in France - from food and wine to travelling and culture - and reveals how others have managed to forge new lives here.
There is a whole section dedicated to 'Kids' to cater for the growing number of families settling in France; and the 'Work & Money' section is packed with practical financial advice and stories about running a business or being employed in France.
Our first issue has a strong summer flavour with great reads on the best places to visit, three great holidays to win and much much more. To be in with a chance of winning simply buy a copy of the paper to take part.
