I have family near Tours and I would say that they have a very different approach to their neighbors (new and old). I find it wonderful that you are still in contact with your old neighbors from 20 years ago. You must have been a memorable and pleasant addition to the neighborhood.<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />VictoriaVictoria FERAUGEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16319699673885400472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2424131704277823220.post-63493169917748993152012-07-19T15:13:55.076+02:002012-07-19T15:13:55.076+02:00Crumbs...not at all the same as my neighbours in t...Crumbs...not at all the same as my neighbours in the country...most of them getting on but still working hard on their land...very welcoming and incredibly nosy to someone coming from England.<br />They brought me into their families' lives and activities and we're still in contact today, twenty years on when I'm an ocean away.<br />But, as they all told me...the bourgeois are different...too much to hide!the fly in the webhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04563871975125538755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2424131704277823220.post-17978643325041997472012-07-19T12:39:34.650+02:002012-07-19T12:39:34.650+02:00Salut Veronique, I'm enjoying just as much you...Salut Veronique, I'm enjoying just as much your adventures in Seattle (I hope you don't mind but I added your blog to my list here on the Flophouse).<br /><br />All the best to you and your family and have fun sailing!<br /><br />VictoriaVictoria FERAUGEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16319699673885400472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2424131704277823220.post-81938298774904675922012-07-18T22:23:17.473+02:002012-07-18T22:23:17.473+02:00Bonjour Victoria. I truly enjoyed your "Paris...Bonjour Victoria. I truly enjoyed your "Parisian vignettes." It seems you have had your share of interesting neighbors in the past :-)Yes, the French are private, and more reserved than -let us say- some of my American neighbors. They take a while to warm up and open their doors to strangers. I have lived all over France with my family, and have found this to be the most true in Paris. Southerners - and even "les gens du Nord," when we lived in Lille - were all warmer. We have had friends in that region since then. Interesting observations at any rate. It will be interesting to see what the next few years bring with your next-door neighbors :-) VeroniqueFrench Girl in Seattlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14347995356689205203noreply@blogger.com
