  • Welcome to Wandering Footsteps, the travel journal of a nomadic family on an overland trip around the world. With thirty years of travel experience, a round-the-world trip already under our belt, a newly-converted bus, and a new baby in tow, this journey is bound to be interesting! Join us in our global wanderings - we've saved an extra seat just for you!

    - Brittany, Bruno, and Phoenix

The French attitude toward food had me saying Oui! Oui! to France from the get-go. The meals served as individual courses, paired with wines, and sprinkled with conversation and laughter – food in France exists to be enjoyed and shared, and is a centerfold of the day, just the way I like it.

  • line - Olala !!!!! Tout ce que vous avez engloutis….. que de bonnes choses à manger :))ReplyCancel

  • Louise Jones-Takata - Very nice reporting and photos on your culinary/family journey in France. Food and dining is almost always a celebration in France!

    When I have guests, I almost always serve a cheese course following desert.

    Bien fait B & B!ReplyCancel

    • Brittany - Thanks for reading and sharing your thoughts, Louise! I thought of you often whenever we sat at the table for an apero or a meal. You would have loved it! 🙂
      I think we’ll serve cheese after the meal, now, too. Dad was massively into it! 🙂
      Much love!ReplyCancel

  • Brittany - Salut la trop belle famille!

    Tu te rencontres un peu comment on s’est regale avec le miam miam??? Ho la la!!! Le regime va bien, mais seulement parce que je suis dans le bush avec un petit frigo et ni pain ni fromage! Pas besoin d’une agraffe en afrique! 🙂

    Je viens d’avoir un petit mot de la mama, ils viennent de rentrer chez eux, ils ont adore Barcelone et sont epuises maintenant! Yippee, vacances reussis! Et toi, profites de ta semaine – gros bisous a vous tous!

  • Micheline - Coucou Britt et Bruno,
    Je suis ravie de voir que tout le monde s’est régalé et a apprécié les joies de la nourriture en France. Il est vrai qu’ici, c’est le centre de notre vie… et je sais maintenant que c’est aussi ce que tu partages avec nous!
    Ton blog est un vrai plaisir à lire, même en anglais (aussi passionnant que Harry Potter). Vous nous manquez déjà et je me réjouis de vous revoir ce printemps.
    J’espère bien avoir des nouvelles de vous et de tes parents avant de nous revoir et pour l’instant, je vous envoie des gros bisous et profite de ma dernière semaine de vacances.
    A bientôt.

It was an epic trip. Meeting Bruno’s family for the first time, visiting his childhood and teenage haunts, my parents finally meeting their son-in-law, visiting medieval villages and towns… With so many photos and special moments, a single blog post about my five weeks in France is utterly impossible. Here is the first of a trio of France-posts on the beauty of family connections.

I hadn’t been home to Canada in over a year, so when I finally made it back, everyone wanted to visit! This summer, I was blessed with visits from out-of-town friends, relatives, and my brother! It was the best time ever!

    • Brittany - So happy we got to see you this summer! Please don’t read into the face there isn’t a photo of the two of you – guess we were too busy snapping shots of the kids!

      Back in Kenya now after five awesome and busy weeks in France. You will hear all about it on my blog, and likely from my parents when they return to Canada in a week or so. Much love and see you next summer!ReplyCancel
