Born and raised parisian in 1984, I left Paris in 2013 to start a new life on the Opale Coast (Baie de Somme exactly).
I always find interesting and funny, sometimes uncomfortably true, to read all these anglo-saxons trying to survive our own country and thinking we have less challenge than them. Well except the language, we still also have sometimes hard times. But overall, I won’t be the typical stupid frenchie complaining about everything, because I love my country and their people. Sometimes I hate them like you all, but there are still more ups than downs.
Anyway, if you need a local born and raised point of view I am da man. If any mountainbiker, fatbiker or road cyclist located between Baie de Somme and Le Touquet, drop me msg. I’ll be really happy to get a british or american lesson.
I am here to maintain my English, because in rural Picardie, it is not easy, and also to meet international people living here. They have a different way of thinking that I tend to like.
Salut les anglais !
