I believe in France.
With all the shock and disruption in Paris and elsewhere, I want you to know that this American believes in France: in what she stands for in the world, and what she will always stand for. Liberté, égalité, fraternité.
Here in the Cantal, all is quiet. The sheep graze. The sky is pristine. The volcanic soil is rich and teeming with life.
I’m grateful to be here.
Have a great day,
Bill
