Where I live in France

I am so excited about today.  I think you will be too!  Remember the other day when I showed you a sneak peek of something???  Well today I can tell you what it is!  I am hosting my first giveaway over at My Girlish Whims!!  And what will I be giving away, might you ask??  I beautiful French necklace.  It is so pretty, I want to keep it.  But I won't.  One of you will. :)

And to get you extra motivated to win something straight from France, I am linking up today with Little Miss Momma and showing off our 'hoods.'  Neighborhoods, that is.  So grab your coffee and have a little French visit.
Annecy. OK, I don't live here, but it was so pretty I couldn't resist

I have always loved this pretty old building

Our city, L'Etrat (pronounced lay-tra)

You have seen this door before

Our bakery, yuuummmmmy

This church is from the 1800's

It's really a pretty church, although I don't really see anyone go in it...

Little grocery store, called Petit Casino. Good for me when I forget items at the cheap grocery store!

Playground. I think it is weak sauce, but my son likes it. I guess kids are easily amused.

My son's school.  I will have to post a vlog of him speaking French. It is awesome.

So that is my 'hood.  I can't wait to check out some others!  Now that you are all Frenchied up, go enter the giveaway!! 

Bonne Journee!

I love all the pictures. I esp.like the city name spelled out in bushes. The church looks lovely. I wonder why no one goes inside.
How long will you be living overseas?
