Hi Janice, First let me say that I would certainly read your book. I have Peter Mayle's books and video series from PBS "A Year in Provence". I love your decor in your apartment and would love the vintage markets in France for decorating. Could you give a ball park figure of rent costs. Is it U.S. dollars, deposits required? Not trying to be personal. I applaud you for making it in France. Please keep on writing. We are waiting for more!
