Finding Home

In France with the delightful Beth Le Manach of Entertaining with Beth.
10

Today, we are talking with the always delightful Beth Le Manach from the tasty Substack Entertaining with Beth and her recipe-packed blog—my first stop when planning dinner with friends or when I can’t decide what to cook for myself and my family; Beth saves me!

About a year ago, Beth and her family moved from Los Angeles to a small village in France, Saint-Gilles-Croix-de-Vie. Even though they had spent summers there for decades, living somewhere full-time is very different from visiting on holiday, as the charming quirks of a place can become everyday challenges.

Beth sends you a big hello from France!

Starting over in a foreign country is never easy, especially in a second language. Yet Beth shows how patience, persistence, and a sense of humour can ease the transition. Over time, it gets easier until one day you look around and, like Beth, say, “On est bien ici!”

Thanks for listening.
