Sara in Le Petit Village

Sara in Le Petit Village
I arrived in Le Petit Village on the 26th September 2009. It was a Saturday morning. Before that flight to Nice, I had spent six years in Dublin working in the downward spiraling banking sector.

Only found this blog a few days ago while wandering on Expats Blog. It is very cleverly written and quite funny! I love seeing my home country from the eyes of an other expat. Brilliant!

Sara lived in Dublin where I live and now lives in France where I'm from. It's great to read her perspective, I love her blog!

I love hearing Sara's story about her family life in France, what adventures she's up to and even celebrating her first Thanksgiving there. A great read!

Have been reading Sara's funny, poignant, and charming blog for a couple of years now. I'm yet another American in France, and I came by way of Ireland, too. But it's not just what's in common....it's just a great blog!

This blog has it all! It's funny, insightful, honest and an excellent rendition of life in France from an English speaker's point of view. Did I mention funny?

As Sara's "godmother", and after having spent two wonderful weeks at her lovely home, meeting "the husband" and Fifty, and visiting some of the places she blogs about, I would have to say that it is always a delight reading about her daily escapades. Her style is so polished and fun to read. Hope everyone has the chance to join in and enjoy!

Sara's blog is a way for me to escape my day for a short time and visit with her in France. I love staying in 'touch' with all the folks (characters) in Le Petit Village and laughing about their escapades! -x

The first thing I do every day is read Sara's blog. I have known Sara since she was 12 - and this blog allows me to always know what she is doing. :) I love the humor in Sara's writing. She needs that humor as her French life is considerably different than her Texas life. Great blog and great person!!

I adore Sara Louise, she is a friend but we met through the blog and it's how I keep up with her adventures between visits. Plus she has a dog named Fifty! Tell me that's not a winner right there?!

Sara's blog is a joy to read. She captures daily life in small town France perfectly and celebrates all the glorious idiosyncrasies along the way. Utterly divine and as delicious as a frothy cafe au lait!

If you've ever wondered what it's really like living in southern France you'll love Sara's blog. It's honest and interesting and really funny - much like the lady herself. There is also a lot of cheese, which is never a bad thing. I always enjoy hearing about her adventures!

Sara's blog is the only ex-pat blog I read - it;'s interesting, very funny and Sara is charming and engaging. I have been a faithful reader of her blog for well over two years. She deserves this award!

I love, adore Sara's blog! I am a uniblogger, this is the only blog which catched my heart and I follow it religiously! Funny, deliciously witty, surprising, poignant sometimes, Sara makes me smile, laugh, cry. I'm an impat' - I came back home to France after 12 years in the US, and Sara helped me so much to go through this change! Longue vie au Petit Village!

I love your blogs, Sara. You start my day when I read them in the morning. Sometimes I even reread them in the evening. Since I am limited in my movements now, your trips, explorations, walks with Fifty, family visits, etc. fill my need to do the same. Thanks for you blogs. Love always, Aunt Kathy

Sara and the tales of her "Petit Village" will have you laughing from the beginning of the post to the end (I promise). She's sharp, hysterical and extremely observant. I always admire how she can bundle up a night's worth of giggles in her little town in one brief and clean post. This is definitely a top blog! Can't wait for the book! ; )

Susan

wonderful, entertaining, funny, moving. I always look forward to reading what's happened next in LPV!

Sara's blog is awesome! I always look forward to reading what's going on in her corner of Provence, the tales of the LPV villagers, happy moments, funny moments, Fifty's stories, and so much more. In my opinion, she's a very talented blogger and without her stories our days would be a little more blah. Thank you Sara!
