At Home in France"As beguiling and delectable as France itself." *Mimi Sheraton "Ann Barry tells her tale directly and clearly, without cloying artifice or guile, so that it has the warmth, honesty, and force of a long letter from an old friend. She makes her reader a welcome house guest in her much loved little cottage in the heart of France." *Susan Allen Toth Ann Barry was a single woman, working and living in New York, when she fell in love with a charming house
"As beguiling and delectable as France itself." *Mimi Sheraton"Ann Barry tells her tale directly and clearly, without cloying artifice or guile, so that it has the warmth, honesty, and force of a long letter from an old friend. She makes her reader a welcome house guest in her much-loved little cottage in the heart of France." *Susan Allen Toth
Ann Barry was a single woman, working and living in New York, when she fell in love with a charming house in Carennac in southwestern France. Even though she knew it was the stuff of fantasy, even though she knew she would rarely be able to spend more than four weeks a year there, she was hooked. This spirited, captivating memoir traces Ms. Barry's adventures as she follows her dream of living in the French countryside: Her fascinating (and often humorous) excursions to Brittany and Provence, charmed nights spent at majestic chateaux and back-road inns, and quiet moments in cool Gothic churches become our own.
And as the years go by, and "l' Americaine," as she is known, returns again and again to her real home, she becomes a recognizable fixture in the neighborhood. Ann Barry is a foreigner enchanted with an unpredictable world that seems constantly fresh and exciting. In this vivid memoir, she shares the colorful world that is her France.

Loooove these shoes!
Size: 7.5 Wide, Color: Chestnut Brown Faux Leather
I have these in several colors, and they’ve become a true staple in my wardrobe.
The Amazon Essentials Women's Belice Comfortable Slip-On Ballet Flats are exactly what I look for in an everyday shoe—simple, versatile, and comfortable right out of the box. The slip-on design makes them super convenient for busy days, and they pair effortlessly with everything from jeans to dresses to work outfits.
They’re lightweight but still feel supportive enough for all-day wear, and I appreciate that they don’t require a break-in period. The fit is generally true to size, and the variety of colors makes it easy to stock up and rotate depending on the outfit.
Overall, these are reliable, easy-to-wear flats that offer great value for the price. Not flashy, just consistently comfortable and practical—which is exactly why I keep coming back to them.

Comfortable and the fit is very comfortable. Looks great and extremely comfortable. Soft and light weight. Easy to put on. Sizing was perfect and the wide width is truly a wide. I’m coming back for more colors.

REALLY CUTE SHOE BUT CUT WAY TOO SMALL!
Size: 8, Color: Black Patent
I received the black patent leather shoes today and they are so cute! Sadly I need to return them because they are cut way too small. I normally wear a 7.5 or 8 on dress shoes so I ordered the 8. They are so tight across the top that it's uncomfortable as soon as I put them on. They are smaller than a normal size 8 dress shoe. The big toe area is extremely uncomfortable because it doesn't allow any room for it at all, so my big toe just presses against the side and end of the shoe without even walking in them. I have very narrow feet and these still are too small for me. So I am returning them and I already ordered a 8.5 W and hope that will fit much better. The patent leather is very cute and adds just enough dressy that I can wear them with slacks or my Capri jeans. I like the slip on and the cushion foot bed because it feels soft.
