⭐️ A Little Note About This Space
This site began with a moment in the vegetable aisle of my local supermarket, when my three-year-old pointed to a pile of beets and shouted, “Betteraves! Just like at the cantine!”
It stopped me in my tracks – and opened the door to everything I’ve observed since: how French children learn to eat well, how families build wellbeing through simple daily habits, and how much culture shapes the way we live, move, and eat.
If you’re curious to understand France through food, rhythm, and everyday life, you’re in the right place!
