Those who have followed my site for a number of years may recall that Susan Hutchinson (Fleurishing) was the inspiration for my Franco File Friday series (which I promise I will revive at some point this year!). A lifelong Francophile, she is perpetually sussing out French flair in her hometown and throughout her travels in the United States. On her last trip to Paris, she spoke to me about a passion project that she was hoping to create with Kirsten Alana, a photographer and frequent traveler to France, that would tap into that profound love for France and unite others around the world who boast a similar fondness. When she asked me to be the third founding member, the answer was a resounding OUI!
On Bastille Day, as fitting a day as any, we launched The Francophiles, a community that aims to inspire, inform and unite everyone with a love for France, no matter where they may be.
What does being a Francophile mean to you, and how and where do you get your “fix”? Head over to Instagram and join the community by tagging and hashtagging your French-inspired images as you travel. We will be sharing our favorite images regularly and will be launching a website in the coming months. Until then, we hope to hear from you over on Instagram!
I couldn’t be more excited about our new venture and the community we’re building! Merci mille fois mon amie. xo
Great idea, I look forward to reading more articles.
