This is year two of my French occupation. Most of the culture shocks have been handled, assimilated, taken for granted. What's left? Immersion, elation, profound exploration... this is the year of peaufinement and maximum extraction of joy from my quirky pays des merveilles.

Here is how the site works. Choose a link on the left to bring up a collection of photos. You can view them like a slideshow or, if you press 't,' flip through thumbnails. Click 'Back' to get back to this page and choose another photo collection.

Merci d'être venu. These photos can't halfway show you what this year means to me, but they'll bring us a little closer. Bonne exploration!
