FOREVER IN FRANCE

Romantic and ever alluring, France becomes for its visitors a lifelong passion. A view of Notre Dame across the Pont des Arts. Pastoral brick farmhouses. Luscious fruit tarts in pâtisserie windows. Rich café crème. The glittering waters off Côte d'Azur, crusty pain, people-watching from a side walk café Provence—land of sunflowers, lavender and postcard-pretty farmers markets—pristine Alpine villages, and purple grapes ready for harvest.

4.0 out of 5 stars My favorite wall calendar, July 30, 2005

This review is from: 365 Days in France Calendar 2006 (Calendar)

For many years now, this calendar has served me well. One month spans two oversized pages and focuses on a particular region in France, and never the same from one year to the next. Wells's text is brief but charming. The cover accurately illustrates the typical assortment of Rothfeld's photographs -- in size, number, and breadth of topic -- that adorn each and every month. Still, generous room is allotted each day for noting appointments, recitals, and what have you. Holidays span US, UK, Canada, and Australia, along with major Christian and Hebrew holy days. One star off for the lack of moon phases.

I buy this calendar every year for a friend and myself. We both had a year abroad in France while in college and this allows us to remember places visited and people we met.

I love this calendar. I have another from 2005 which is why I got this one. France is so beautiful and so are these photos. I always dream of going there; for now I just look at the calendar.
