Hi. I’m sending this dispatch from western France, where I’m in the midst of a 10-day driving tour for an upcoming Travel + Leisure article. If you know the country, think Paris - Orléans - Bourges - Cognac - La Rochelle - Tours.
Unfortunately, that means I don’t have a lot of time for writing besides my notes from interviews and visits. But here are a couple photos. I can’t identify the places, I need to save that for the story, but hopefully this is a fun scroll with your morning tea or coffee.
Happy June, wherever this finds you. À plus tard.
No supplement tomorrow, but several things that will be included next week:
A new iPhone app that successfully, at least in my recent experience, defeats jet-lag (!)
A smart series of spy novels for fans of John le Carré or Mick Herron (Slow Horses)
A favorite history/bicycling book about France, plus other things
What the what
Meditations in an Emergency is a weekly dispatch from author Rosecrans Baldwin about something beautiful. Supporters receive a Sunday supplement with 3+ things to love, along with a monthly longer piece sent from the road, for some inbox wanderlust. ⛰️
Books mentioned in Meditations in an Emergency are stored in a Bookshop list.
Pretty swell writing assignment
Looks perfect
