Welcome to my blog, I’m so glad you decided to visit My French Ami! I love France and the French language and I want to share my passion with other Americans who are interested in the same. This blog will contain information about the French language and “Everything France,” French businesses serving the U.S., and chronicle my retirement journey to France over the next 10 years. You may even find yourself heading to France soon yourself!

If you plan on visiting France, don’t wait to start reading! I will help you prepare for your visit, share with you the insights and tips that I uncover over the years, and ultimately show you how to love France as much as I do. You’ll learn important customs, cultural norms, and of course the French government’s rules (lots of them!) on ex-pats retiring to their country. What’s not to love about that? Trust me, it’s worth it. Let’s get started!
