I’m so glad you found us from so far away! I lived in France for a few months several years ago and absolutely fell in love.

You can always find the latest additions to the site at the very top of the homepage, and if you ever have questions, please don't hesitate to leave a comment on my profile page or shoot me a message.

We'll get this solved! A girl needs her eggs!
