Ann L. (with Laura B.)-  U.S.A.

Oct. 24

Flo,

Thank you for all you did for Laura and me during our stay earlier this month.  Really, it could not have been better—it was both fun and a great learning experience for both of us.  We particularly appreciated all you did to accommodate our several special requests, from arranging a wonderful garden tour to a briefing on France’s government to learning to cook galettes, crepes and even galettes des rois.  You and Dawson were such gracious hosts and made us feel welcome every day in your lovely home; I meant it when I said to let us know if you visit Texas as we’d enjoy seeing both of you again. 

 

From creating grammar lessons specially directed to our numerous weaknesses to keeping a running note on vocabulary during casual conversation, you used every minute to best effect, helping us to be a great deal more comfortable in French.  The combination of an excellent French teacher and an engaging tour guide is hard to beat!  We loved seeing Vannes and the Gulf of Morbihan especially, and your own knowledge and love of the area made everything more fun.

 I can heartily recommend a week with you to anyone interested in gaining fluency in French

Ps.  Please do especially thank your mother for opening her garden to us.  Her garden is incredible and would compare favorably to many on garden tours where the owner has a great deal of professional help.  Her skill, knowledge of the plants, and artistic arrangement will stay with me a long time.  I have extensive notes from the catalog she loaned me (thank you!) and plan to place an order in early winter for this spring, when I hope I can get back.
