Romain and I are in the final stretch before heading to the US for a bit this summer. We both can hardly wait, and yet the “pre-missing” France has already settled in. I had a tartine for breakfast this morning and told myself to enjoy it, as I wouldn’t have anything like it for a while. When planning lunch, Romain, who rarely eats sandwiches, said he needed to have one last “good” sandwich before leaving. I’m sure these little pangs for all things French will intensify over the next week. It’s always a good reminder that distance can make the heart grow fonder. Some of my favorites from Weekend Links Week 26 include a guide to the Loire Valley, a look at a massive new cocktail bar in Paris, and a list of dreamy South of France villas. Enjoy!
