The distance between Rolling Fork, Mississipi and Hautefage la Tour, our small village in France is 7,639 km, that’s 4,747 miles. By airplane it would probably take two days to get here.
Paulette & Martin. Both of us are retired. Paulette worked as a social assistant looking after blind children. I was a radio and TV journalist reporting on space affairs, rockets and stars.
Nicolas, our son the right, his wife Kele (who is Brasilian), and their two daughters Taina and Chloé. They live in the city of Pau, about 2 hours drive away to the South. Taina and Chloé are very good swimmers. Nicolas, who has worked in Brasil, is a TV journalist.
Our daughter Aurelia on the right, her husband Jerome and between them their two children, Manon and Alexander. They live to the North, near Brittany in the town of Saint Malo, about 8 hours drive away. Our daughter has worked in Japan and her children speak Japanese!
Martin & Paulette have two cats: Tizia above and ….

They get along together and keep us company.
Our home is in the middle of the countryside. Nearby there are farmers who have cows, grow fruit trees and grow vegetables.
We even have five hens and a cock who wander around the house and gardens.
We have several houses and rooms where we can welcome guests and friends. And our children and grand-children when they come for weekends and holidays.
Our village Hautefage-la-Tour has only 1050 inhabitants. It is not far from one of France’s wine-producing regions – but we also drink milk!!
There are two very big cities, about two hours by car: Bordeaux to the West, near the sea, and Toulouse to the East. Toulouse is where the Airbus planes are built, and also satellites.
WE HOPE YOU HAVE ENJOYED THIS VISIT. IF YOU WANT TO WRITE TO US,
PLEASE DO SO. WE AND OUR CHILDREN WOULD LOVE TO MAKE SOME NEW FRENDS IN MISSISSIPI.
BYE FOR NOW! AUREVOIR!
