But you are in France, Madame

But you are in France, Madame

Author(s): Catherine Berry

Location(s): Annecy, French Alps

Genre(s): Autobiography/Memoirs

Era(s): Current era

Several years ago, my husband, three young children and I unzipped and discarded our comfortable Australian lifestyle and slipped on life in the country of haute couture. On arrival, there was no celebrity designer waiting for us, ready to pin and fit our new life to us; so we threw it on and wore it loosely, tightly, uncomfortably, any old how—until we learned for ourselves how to trim, hem and stitch à la française. ‘But you are in France, Madame’ is this joyous, but not always easy, journey that we took along the way.
