Local Foods of Auvergne, France
My mother used to chide me that I enjoyed cooking so much and usually did all the household chores, including sewing, myself, but heck, I enjoy it!
I love a good restaurant meal but three times a day, no, and especially not in a hotel! If I visit a place and cannot buy any local fare and cook it myself somewhere, I feel somewhat deprived.
We rented a house in Murol, France for a week in September, 2012, after the high Summer holiday season had passed, but it was still warm and pleasant. You can save a lot of money this way if your schedule allows for it and you can delay getting back to work a bit and don't have children in school.
This was on a Sunday morning, and we'd been to Saint Nectaire (home of a famous variety of cheese) and visited the gorgeous Romanesque church and I shopped in the market there. In Murol, we visited the butcher, the regional products shop and the baker, who offered things for a song because they were day old!
Overall, prices for food and supplies were fairly high in and around Murol, but I'd packed a bunch of stuff in Paris and we took it in the car. Things such as coffee. Who wants to buy that ordinary but necessary stuff on vacation? Better to put some things in a box and just haul them.
The vegetables shown in this clip only cost me five euros but the other things were more costly. That bottle of rosé wine from a local vintner was just about the best I've ever had, and I'm sorry I didn't buy more from them!
We've been renting furnished places since 2008 in France and it took us a time or two to get the hang of it. There are lots of vacation villages and hotel/residences which are excellent, but we've also enjoyed renting directly from private landlords. Only two places turned out to be kind of disappointing. The first, in Tréghier, Brittany, France was outrageously small, the kitchen was sparse to say the least, and there was a mezzanine I found hard to climb to get to bed. The flat was on a rather noisy road and right next to the trash dumpsters, there was no balcony ... it was kind of tight. But the village and region were so excellent, we had a great week anyway! We also learned that you can save a lot of money by not renting their bedding, towels and having them clean. It depends on what you feel up to.
Another place, in Rignac, France, was far from any shops or services, the place was tiny, again the kitchen sparse, my spouse didn't like the parking arrangements, yet I was thrilled with the pool area in that place -- it was top flight. He just doesn't like pools or sunbathing very much. There was no serious problem at all with either place, however!
Everything else has been perfect. One thing you have to bear in mind is that they will not be ready to receive you until 4 pm generally, and you will be tired after your journey. It will usually be for a Saturday arrival, and you will have to quickly unpack and get out to the stores before they close for Sunday. I also find it a bit confusing to figure out how to use the appliances and of course there are different, sometimes limited, provisions in the way of utensils. This house in Murol, however, had first aid kits, baby care products, full sets of china and silverware, pastry chef materials (!), toys, games, reading material, you name it. It had formerly been a family home, so was extremely well appointed.
I can help you arrange travel here or help you facilitate your business in France.

Zabars Cheese Board 101 - Zabar's Cheese Plate of the Week
Good enough to share with any cheesemongers in the house, but friendly enough for cheese novices, this cheese collection delivers three flavorful, yet mild, cheeses from all around the world, made of the three most common milks used in cheesemaking: cow, sheep and goat. Mild and rich Coach Farm Triple-Creme Goat Disc is from upstate New York; earthy, nutty French Petit Saint-Nectaire is made of cow's milk; and Kashkaval is a hearty Bulgarian sheep's milk wheel. We also include a cheese knife and square wooden cutting board for serving, a set of three reusable Farmyard Animal Cheese Markers, and a box of crisp, fennel-infused Spanish Tortas.
The Church Square in Saint-Saturnin, France
This clip is so short but I took it as a kind of reference booknote and hope you like it.
This is an ancient, Medieval, fortified village in France. It is at high up. The church is 12th c. and is Romanesque. The village was rearranged in the 19th c., with running water, modern conveniences and some urban planning done, so what had been a modest central street of shops and businesses got converted more into residences with lovely terraces and little gardens. It's actually quite a large village, almost a little town. You park legally below (it's free as I recall) and there are cafés and services, and then you start walking up, up, up. The region has always been productive for agriculture, stone and other things, and there is plenty of water around, so this was generally a thriving place. On the lowest parts were stone barns and storage houses for animals and produce, and many of these ancient buildings have been converted (at great cost, I would imagine) into homes, side by side, full of charm and character.
The foods and wines of this area are extraordinary. We visited after the high Summer season and rented a house not far away, and prices were much lower for that reason. There is a very slow pace of life here. A very elderly woman lives near the old chapel here, and I wondered how she gets up to her home! She is probably pretty stationary at this point!
Much of France is rural, and you might not have the most exciting life if you live in it, but you are likely to be surrounded by much natural beauty and a LOT of history. As an expat from the USA nearly 20 years ago, I have learned to unwind here and become my own best friend. I've had to work hard (but the work ethic is strong here) but I've also had a lot of time for learning, reflection and growth here.

Western Rite Orthodoxy
Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Western Rite Orthodoxy or Western Orthodoxy or Orthodox Western Rite are terms used to describe congregations that are within Churches of Orthodox tradition but which use liturgies of Western or Latin origin rather than adopting Eastern liturgies such as the Divine Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom. While there are some ancient examples of Western Rite communities in areas predominantly using the Byzantine Rite before the Great Schism was fully consolidated (the Monastery of Saint Mary of the Latins, often referred to as Amalfi, is a common example), the history of the movement is often considered to begin in the nineteenth century with the life and work of Julian Joseph Overbeck.
Western Rite parishes and monasteries exist within certain jurisdictions of the canonical Eastern Orthodox Church, predominantly within the Russian and Antiochian jurisdictions in North America, with the latter having created an Antiochian Western Rite Vicariate (AWRV).
In addition, the Western Rite is practiced within religious communities outside the main Eastern Orthodox Church. The Communion of Western Orthodox Churches and the Orthodox Church of France are entirely Western Rite. Furthermore, there is a small number of Western Rite communities among the Old Calendarists, such as the former Western Rite Exarchate of the Holy Synod of Milan and the Autonomous Orthodox Metropolia of North and South America and the British Isles. In the past, there have also been Western Rite communities within Oriental Orthodoxy.
Western Rite parishes are found almost exclusively in countries with large Roman Catholic or Protestant (particularly Anglican) populations. There are also numerous devotional societies and publishing ventures related to the Western Rite. Despite having a place within many Eastern Orthodox jurisdictions, the Western Rite remains a contentious issue for some.

✚ Watch my WW2 in Europe PLAYLIST:
The British Commandos were formed during the World War 2 in June 1940, following a request from the British prime minister, Winston Churchill, for a force that could carry out raids against German-occupied Europe. The first Commando raid in Norway, Operation Claymore, was conducted in March 1941. This was the first large scale raid from the United Kingdom during the war. Their objective was the Norwegian Lofoten Islands (Vaagso and Maaloy). They successfully destroyed the fish-oil factories, petrol dumps, and 11 ships, while capturing 216 Germans, encryption equipment, and codebooks.
About the British Commandos:
After the British Expeditionary Force had been evacuated from Dunkirk in 1940, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill called for a force to be assembled and equipped to inflict casualties on the Germans and bolster British morale. Churchill told the joint Chiefs of Staff to propose measures for an offensive against German-occupied Europe, and stated: they must be prepared with specially trained troops of the hunter class who can develop a reign of terror down the enemy coast. By the autumn of 1940 more than 2,000 men had volunteered (from within the British Army) and in November 1940 these new units were organised into a Special Service Brigade consisting of four battalions under the command of Brigadier J. C. Haydon. The Special Service Brigade was quickly expanded to 12 units which became known as Commandos (filled by members of all branches of the United Kingdom's armed forces and a number of foreign volunteers from German-occupied countries.)
Reaching a wartime strength of over 30 individual units and four assault brigades, the Commandos served in all theatres of war from the Arctic Circle to Europe and from the Mediterranean and Middle East to South-East Asia. Their operations ranged from small groups of men landing from the sea or by parachute to a brigade of assault troops spearheading the Allied invasions of Europe and Asia.
After the war most Commando units were disbanded. However, the present day British Royal Marine Commandos, Parachute Regiment, Special Air Service, and Special Boat Service trace their origins to the original Commandos.
About the German-held Norway:
The occupation of Norway by Nazi Germany started with the German invasion of Norway on 9 April 1940 and ended on 8 May 1945, after the capitulation of German forces in Europe. Throughout this period, Norway was continuously occupied by the Wehrmacht. Civil rule was effectively assumed by the Reichskommissariat Norwegen (Reich Commissariat of Norway), which acted in collaboration with a pro-German puppet government, while the Norwegian king and legitimate governmentcontinued to operate in exile from London. This period of military occupation - usually referred to as the war years or occupation period in Norway - had defining significance for Norwegian society.
About the Operation Claymore:
Operation Claymore was the codename for a British Commandos raid on the Lofoten Islands in Norway during the World War 2. The Lofoten Islands were an important centre for the production of fish oil and glycerine, used in the German war industry. The landings were carried out on 4 March 1941, by the men of No. 3 Commando, No. 4 Commando, a Royal Engineers Section and 52 men from the Royal Norwegian Navy. Supported by the 6th Destroyer Flotilla and two troop transports of the Royal Navy, the force made an unopposed landing and generally continued to meet no opposition. The original plan had been to avoid contact with German forces and inflict the maximum of damage to German-controlled industry. They achieved their objective of destroying fish oil factories and some 3,600 tonnes (800,000 imperial gallons) of oil and glycerine.
Through naval gunfire and demolition parties, 18,000 tons of shipping were sunk. Perhaps the most significant outcome of the raid, however, was the capture of a set of rotor wheels for an Enigma cypher machine and its code books. This enabled German naval codes to be read at Bletchley Park, providing the intelligence needed to allow allied convoys to avoid U-boat concentrations. The British experienced only one accidental injury and returned with some 228 German prisoners, 314 loyal Norwegian volunteers and a number of Quisling regime collaborators.
In the aftermath the evaluation of the operation differed, the British and especially Winston Churchill deeming it a success. In the eyes of the British the value of such actions was mainly to tie up large German forces on occupation duties in Norway.

Katnook Founder's Block Cabernet Sauvignon 2009 from Red Squirrel Wine
Katnook Estate's winemaking history stretches back to 1896, when Coonawarra's second vintage was made in the Katnook woolshed by Scottish immigrant John Riddoch. This same woolshed today houses Katnook's oak barrels.
This is quintessential Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon, with a bit of a difference. It is toasty, oaky, spicy and full of blackcurrants and minty eucalyptus.
Winemaker: Wayne Stehbens
Place: Coonawarra, South Australia
Grapes: Cabernet Sauvignon (95%), Merlot (3%), Shiraz (2%)
Alcohol: 13.5%
