...et tout ce qui est bon et qu'on aime de la France!
Discover this beautiful and intiguing country through the wanderings of Lorenzo, Wijjie and Valentino, a bichon frisé born at Avignon in July 2004! Lorenzo has his base in Granada but returns often to the land where he attended the Sorbonne in 1961-63, and was a postcard artist and Unesco translator from 1981-85. Welcome to France, the country which never changes and yet, each time you return, never seems quite the same!
