TouteFrance

Who is behind TouteFrance?

My name is Sam McArthur and I live in Emsworth, on the south coast of England with my husband and dog. My full time job is working as an online marketer.

The idea behind ‘TouteFrance’ is anything and pretty much everything to do with France, so you’ll find posts on ‘toutes’ sorts of subjects on this website.

So why have I set up a website about France? Well, I used to visit France a lot as ‘une petite fille’ as my uncle lived there as well as on family camping holidays (sadly my uncle died when I was 17). However, I kept my interest and studied French at university and had a couple of jobs out there afterwards. I still keep it up with weekly conversation classes and speaking to my French friends when I can, and decided it was about time I set up a website about it.

So what do I like about France? Here’s my list in no particular order:

• Lovely countryside
• Great food and great value meals in restaurants
• Markets
• Quality of life
• Weather
• Language

I know not everything about France is rosy, so this is what I don’t like:

• Driving
• Bureaucracy
• Economy (some French people are now coming to the UK for work!)
• Television (it was pretty awful when I was a student there, but perhaps it’s improved since then)
• Unions, particularly strong and always seem to go on strike when we want to go on holiday
