Le Petit Plaisir: Farmer’s Markets
I’ve been a Francophile my entire life, I just never knew there was a word for it. If you aren’t familiar, a Francophile is a person who is fond of or greatly admires the French or France. I’ve never actually stepped foot in France (or Europe for that matter), however there are so many things…
