We wanted to experience Europe as more than rushed tourists on a 10 day vacation. To dive into the culture, learn a new language, experience daily life, and truly know what it was like to work and live somewhere other than the US. In France, we set up a business, enrolled in a middle school, found housing and even got our cat a European passport! While in the US preparing to leave, the information we found about staying in France for longer than a short vacation was directed at college students, young & single digital nomads or retirees. Where was the useful information for families like us? With a year under our belts in France, we created Baguette Bound to pass on what we have learned. We hope to make it easier and inspire other families who are interested in experiencing a long stay in France with their families. Stay tuned for more information on French culture, local travel ideas, and the logistics of moving across the world.
