The amazing life impact of a long term stay in France or Italy.

The amazing life impact of a long term stay in France or Italy.
Catherine Berry has written about her long term stays in France and Italy. Each time I read one of her books, I just want to jump on a plane and head to her wonderful destinations like here in Lucca, Italy!

Catherine Berry is an author who has chatted on the Loulabelle’s FrancoFiles podcast previously (eps 39 & 112) about the life changing decision to move her family to the French village of Annecy for a year when her children were young.

.

We come back to chat again to Catherine to hear how that stay has made a positive impact of the lives of her whole family, but also about a new experience she had staying in the Italian village of Lucca for 3 months. Loulabelle and Catherine chat about the experience of being non-fluent in a foreign country, about the cultural similarities and differences of Italy and France, as well as how Catherine made arrangements to stay and live like a local in Italy for 12 weeks.

.

Hear about Catherine’s new books (she now has seven!) including one about how to play with your child (or grandchild) in French.
