And the the This is join us in France episode 59.

Hello I'm Annie and today I have the pleasure to bring to you Cynthia Kaye

an American who is married to a Frenchman, lives in the French Alps part-time, and who

chats with me about the tours she created in the French Alps and Provence.

Her tours are action-packed and will take you to both bucolic and famous places in the French Alps

while keeping you comfortable and very well fed.

We haven't talked about the French Alps on the show yet and this is an

area I plan on visiting myself next month so I'm excited to learn about the area.

Also wonderful news starting next week, Elise will be back on the show as a regular guest.

Hopefully, she'll be able to do this once a month.

Next week, I'll release an episode, Elis and I recorded late 2014, about three places in the Basque country.

Saint-Gend-Dolus, the village of Espolette, and Saint-Gant-Pier-de-Pau.

That episode was preempted by the Charley-E-Dau events,

but I'm happy to bring into you next week.

A major reason Elise had to cut down on coming on the show is that preparing the show takes a lot of time and work.

Neither of us are independently wealthy and just like you we have to work pay our bills. Giving our time away for free is not

always an option. So I want to again appeal for donations and support.

Maybe you've been on tours that were so nice

you gave your guide a tip at the end of the tour.

Well, we'd love it if you would do the same for us.

Be a patron of the podcast.
