Loulabelle's FrancoFiles Ep 41 - Paris time travel - the gorgeous chateaux tell their story ❤️

www.loulabellesfrancofiles.comThis was such a beautifully honest chat, quite raw in places. I felt an instant warm connection to Christine Betts. I have loved following Christine on social media for some time. Her posts connect me to Paris in a variety of ways. She is an author who has written a number of books set in Paris and has a particular style of writing that I find fascinating, with the meshing of historical fact and fiction  with a bit of time travel mixed in. Christine mentioned that her stories always have an old building/chateau/maison in the centre of the narrative. I have always felt that historical buildings have "talked" to me. I thought I was alone with this! Every time I'm in France I imagine who has been there before me and feel a lovely connection to the past.I was amazed that Christine started to write when she was only 10, penning her first book at that time. She mentioned in one post I read that she wrote about a friend who had passed to ease the grief, so the loss wouldn't be so complete. As a reader I was quite affected by this one comment bringing me to tears. What a wonderful gift to help readers to find a new perspective with grief...With music from Nouvelle Vague and chats about fabulous French food and regions to visit, this is a gorgeous chat about books, France, food and the joie de vivre!**Louise Prichard is the host of the Loulabelle's FrancoFiles podcast.**Other Loulabelle's links:FrancoFile Fix on YouTubeLoulabelle's FrancoFiles Spotify Playlist Loulabelle's FrancoFiles InstagramLoulabelle's FrancoFiles website
