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!

Christmas time

Happy Christmas everyone!

I'm very excited about Richard finally moving in on Sunday, a month apart has been too long. He finally decided to leave his job yesterday rather than following a potential work from home possibility that was looking more and more shabby.

So 2010, here we come! It will be a year of big changes for us. So far I have not regretted my choice of moving country once, although I miss everyone in the UK so much. Let's keep our fingers crossed.

See you next year!

Welcome

Hello and thanks for stopping at La Vie en Vosges!

This blog is the story of a little relocation adventure. Me and my fiancé Richard decided to leave London and the rat race for greener pastures in France.

I am French and had been in the UK for about 9 years, while Rich is English. We decided to move back to the Alsace, the area I'm from. After a few months planning things out we finally moved to Cernay, a big village near Basel/Mulhouse, last weekend.

From busy Hackney to the sleepy Alsatian countryside, this blog will be a way for us to keep in touch with friends and family, share our experiences and will also be at times, I'm sure, some kind of therapeutic exercise!

See you back soon I hope,

Anne-Sophie
