  Accommodation

  Accommodation:
  In Paris – in a self contained one bedroom flat with large lounge and kitchen in our garden. You have access to the jacuzzi and pool in season
  
  Food:
  Meals will generally be together (we make a point of eating at the table and chatting about our day over a glass of wine). We are more fish / vegetarian but obviously I will get meat in if you are really missing it!! I have also moved across the years to more Mediterranean / French cooking rather than traditional British :-)
  
  Logement:
  À Paris – dans un appartement indépendant dans notre jardin.
  
  Nourriture:
  Les repas se feront généralement ensemble (nous mettons un point d'honneur à manger à table et à discuter de notre journée autour d'un verre de vin.) Nous sommes plus poisson/végétarien mais évidemment je vais mettre de la viande si ça vous manque vraiment !! Au fil des ans, je me suis également tourné vers une cuisine plus méditerranéenne / française plutôt que britannique traditionnelle :-)
