Linconneries
When translated into English a connerie is a stupidity. To Australians, it would be bullshitting. So a Linconnerie is a tautology, n'est-ce pas?
Anyway, this is the new place for my humble but searingly accurate observations of everyday life in France, snippets I used to send out by email.
What's this blog, then?
This is my new experimental blog. My full blog is still at terredevins. This independent blog will cover all of my Solex travels in the vineyards and will showcase the vignerons and wines of northern provence around Sablet.
I moved to France ten years ago and started this blog as I rode my 1966-model Solex motorbike from Chablis to Sablet in May and June 2009. As a journalist with L’Amateur de Bordeaux, I have a professional obligation to taste as much as I can, and this blog covers all of my wine-based travel, whether through the heartland of South France or Hong Kong and Australia. I am planning, as the French would say, to “recidive” soon with a trip along the Loire.
