We made it through an unusual May heatwave this week and it looks like the temperatures are getting back to normal. We have a busy but fun weekend ahead of us. Roland Garros kicks off on Sunday, which always marks the beginning of summer here for me. Some of my favorites from Weekend Links Week 21 include a list of gorgeous French villages in the Dordogne, how to spot homemade versus frozen pastries, and a list of favorite French beaches which includes Carolles, Romain’s family spot in Normandy. Enjoy!
