About the book:
Forays in France: A Flavorful Memoir is a culinary travelogue about Paris, The Riviera and Wine Regions inspired by the Riviera apartment cancellation-due-to Covid. That March, in 2020, more than 60 years of travel memories started to surface, and the subsequent vignettes recall dozens of trips from 1958, as a Sorbonne student, to 2025 as an older student at the University. Delicious anecdotes reveal forays by barge, cruise ships and a riverboat, by rental car and train with stays at two-to-five-star hotels and meals at cafes, markets to Michelin-starred restaurants. Favored recipes, lesser-known insights, and travel tips add depth.
