Escape to the French Countryside with Jennifer Andrewes

Escape to the French Countryside with Jennifer Andrewes.

Trading the monotony of everyday life for a complete change of scene in the French countryside is a dream for many. But it takes a huge degree of bravery, not to mention financial and career risk, to turn this fantasy into reality.

In 2014 Jennifer Andrewes and her family packed up and moved to Quillan, a French village in the Aude, in the south-west region of France, nestled in the foothills of the Pyrenees. An adventure, which she writes about in Parallel Lives: Four Seasons in the French Pyrenees.

Don’t miss an engaging evening as Jennifer chats at various events around the country about la vie en France and her ode to the people, places and food that made the experience so incredible.
