Oh la’ la’! Love the songs’ list – such an iconic bunch of tunes there. This is a very useful post and no doubt covers a whole lot of FAQs I can imagine you are inundated with. One more Q Corey: didn’t I remember you saying you were offering bespoke brocantes tours – day trips? That’s one you missed off the list if you’re still doing them on request! Though perhaps you’d be so rushed off your feet doing those that the daily blog would suffer!
