Leslie and Justin in France

We’re a couple of people from the US sharing updates about living and working in France, the trips we take, and the things we’re eating. This was originally meant to be a way to keep up with friends and family back home, and that remains the primary focus of the content. We invite others to read along though—friends of friends, new friends, friends of family, casual observers on Substack, the France-curious among us…

We moved here with our dogs and have no hard and fast timeline. We’re both in our 30s, work full-time/as close to full-time as possible, and moved here to embrace the European lifestyle, be close to mountains and beaches, and get a change of scenery and perspective. We live in Lyon, specifically chosen for its proximity to many different outdoor activities, and are very happy with our choice.

Welcome, feel free to engage, and enjoy the glimpse into what we’re up to.
