Win 1 of 4 copies of When in French by Lauren Collins - Complete France

Expired

Enter our competition for a chance to win a copy of When in French by Lauren Collins.
“‘Talking to you in English’, he said, ‘is like touching you with gloves’”
After meeting in London, North Carolinian Lauren Collins and Frenchman Olivier fall in love. As their relationship grows, Lauren discovers there are aspects of Olivier’s life she cannot understand having never spoken to him in his native tongue. And when the couple move from Britain to Geneva, Lauren finds herself incapable of communicating with local shopowners, let alone her in-laws.
Determined to change that, Lauren decides to learn French and embarks on a linguistic journey where she encounters awkward translation challenges and moments of dialectical triumphs.
As a staff writer for the New Yorker, Lauren reflects on her love affair with language in a witty and thoughtful memoir. It highlights the way language, particularly our mother tongue, shapes our lives, from the way we think to the way we fall in love. This book is a fascinating read that will entertain any linguist curious to see what happens when two languages and cultures collide.
We have four copies of When in French to give away. Click here to enter
The closing date for entries is 11 April 2017.

Win A copy of The New Paris by Lindsey Tramuta - Complete France

Expired

Enter French Property News’ competition for a chance to win a copy of The New Paris by Lindsey Tramuta.
“If I returned after that first summer of intense study and linguistic immersion in Paris and laid down roots shortly thereafter, I did so for its true colours?as a liveable, everyday city that is as grimy as it is chic, as maddening as it is edifying.”
Paris has long had a reputation for clinging to its old gilded image and classical reputation. But the time has come for the French capital to change. Or so American Journalist Lindsey Tramuta declares in her new book whose subtitle – The people, places and ideas fuelling a movement – promises a unique and exciting insight into the French capital.
Author of the award-winning blog Lost in Cheeseland, Lindsey takes readers on a journey into the evolving Parisian world from food to craft beers and coffee, from fashion to design.
Beautifully illustrated by photos from Charissa Fay, The New Paris paints a lesser-known portrait of Paris, one that is complex but incredibly vibrant and diverse. Lindsey debunks the romantic and fantasised image tourists may have of the City of Light to reveal its true spirit.

Win 1 of 4 The Portrait by Antoine Laurain - Complete France

Expired

Paris-born author Antoine Laurain has enjoyed international recognition for his books The President’s Hat and French Rhapsody. He wrote his first novel, The Portrait, which is being published for the first time in English, while he was working as an assistant for an antiques dealer. It therefore comes as no surprise that the story of his central character takes place in the same milieu of antiques-collection that he knew well.
Pierre-François Chaumont adores collecting antiques, much to his wife’s displeasure. One day, while strolling around Drouot auction house in Paris, he stumbles upon an 18th-century portrait of a stranger who, he believes, looks just like him. He buys
the painting, but none of his friends or family sees any resemblance.
As Chaumont decides to research the painting’s history, he is given the opportunity to transform his life completely. Written, like many of Laurain’s later novels, in a light and witty tone, The Portrait is an entertaining read with unique characters and offering a pleasant glimpse of life in Paris.
We have four copies of The Portrait to give away! Click here to enter
The closing date is 11 July 2017

Win A pair of tickets to The Tempest at Maison St Louis in Charente - Complete France

Expired

Jane Harvey and her husband Lee moved to Charente with their daughter Poppy in 2015. The property they bought, named Maison St Louis, was once a private school for the château next door and later became an agricultural college, but had then been left derelict for a number of years. The previous owners had converted it into a main house with separate gîtes, which were already being rented out. The couple have since updated the gîtes and completely renovated the swimming pool area. Other onsite facilities include a splash pool for children, games room and La Lune Bleue restaurant, while guests and locals alike can also enjoy a professional production of a Shakespeare play in the grounds.
This will be the third year that the couple have hosted The Lord Chamberlain’s Men, an open-air theatre company that performs at venues throughout the UK and Europe, and its production of The Tempest will be staged at Maison St Louis from 7-9 September 2018.
