Five years after €œMy Grape Escape,€ Laura and Franck are back in Burgundy to tackle their newest project, a derelict 16th century winemaker€s cottage located behind Franck€s family home. Not only is this a daunting rebuild from the ground up, Laura and Franck now have two preschoolers adjusting to the foreign customs of a French school.
Navigating the different rules for raising children and managing a family in a small French village prove every bit as challenging for Laura as learning to drive a stick shift through narrow streets, or arguing with the Architect of French Monuments over permissible paint colors (spoiler alert: any color as long as it€s gray). Come along on this evocative and honest journey where love, coupled with good French food and local wine, pave the way to la belle vie.
