This is a story about two very different cats. They wonder what life is like on the other side of the window. Winston is  a free-spirited cat, a real adventurer. The Indoor Cat is very happy living a life of leisure inside. The cats meet one day at the window and form a friendship. They show each other how different their lives could be. 

 

 

Dream of living in FRANCE?

 

 

 

 

BUT YOU ARE IN FRANCE MADAME 

by Catherine Berry

 

If you love France, dream of travelling to France or want to live in France, then this is a must-read book for you.

Catherine Berry packed her bags with her young Australian family searching for the passion of French living. 

This book will take you on a journey, a' la francaise! 

All is not so easy as it was Down Under! 

Read about the family's  planned 12 month adventure (that went for 3 and a half years) with all the highs and lows in a foreign land, that they learned to call home.

Tres bien!
