PIERRE, AUThoR of 1300+ articles about FRANCE
I am a French/Australian who is passionate about Europe and its culture.
I was born in Nancy, France and grew up in the historic town of Speyer, Germany.
During my adult life, I've also lived in Australia (Sydney and Sunshine Coast) and England (London, East and West Sussex).
I have a background teaching French, Economics and Current Affairs, and holds a Master of Translating and Interpreting English-French with the degree of Master of International Relations, and a degree of Economics and Management.
In 2008, as we were living in Sydney, Australia, my wife Rachel and I founded a business with the name “French Moments” and started a boutique French language school in the leafy suburbs of Mosman.
Then in September 2014, after many years teaching the Australian community, we took the big decision to close our French language centre in Sydney and returned in Europe to be closer to our families.
From 2014 to 2017, we lived in the beautiful town of Maisons-Laffitte near Paris.
Then, from 2017 to 2019 we moved to the French Alps (Annecy and the Tarentaise Valley).
Since Summer 2019 we have relocated in Burwash and Emsworth in South-East England where I continue the French journey by developing our three blogs.
