Welcome to La Vie en Vosges!

We are Richard (English) and Anne-Sophie (French), we met in England and after too many years living the rat race in London we decided to finally take the jump and start a new life in the French countryside (Alsace). We moved to a small town called Cernay at the end of 2009. This blog is about us settling in, to keep in touch with our friends and hopefully also to give some inspiration to other people who are thinking of changing life!

The day after tomorrow


Cernay webcam from Météo Cernay, Friday 08/01/2010


Friday afternoon, 5.03pm. I'm sitting at my desk at work. Blizzard outside, wind hurling through the windows. Night is falling. All my colleagues have gone home to avoid being stuck in the snow. Only I remain, on probation and reluctant to leave without having been authorised to. Great.

We could not possibly have chosen a worst weekend for Richard and Chris to drive over all our furniture from London to Cernay. We're not even sure Chris will be able to find a train running from Wales to London tonight. Nor that Eurotunnel will work tomorrow. Nor that the roads will be cleared in France later on.

Moving house is supposed to be one of the most stressfull thing in life. Moving house + country is a real pain. Especially in January ! We're keeping our fingers crossed for tomorrow.

    Hi Anne-Sophie, Your blog just popped up on my computer and I wanted to clarify that the Eurotunnel service is planning to run normal timetable tomorrow. I hope that reassures you for the rail part of your journey at least. For up-to-date travel information please call 08444 63 00 00 Communications Team, Eurotunnel
