Dreaming of a French lifestyle?
Through my writing, I invite you to journey with me into the heart of France, where every page is rich with the aromas of freshly baked bread, the clink of wine glasses, and the charm of hidden villages waiting to be discovered. Whether you’re drawn by the culinary delights, the regional wines, or the quiet beauty of lesser-known corners, I hope to transport you there through my books and monthly journal The Franco-Files.
About Wendy
Welcome to the writerly world of Wendy Gedney where I love exploring all things French...
I was born in England but fell in love with France many years ago and made it my home in 2009. It was a passion for wine that brought me here and it’s the rhythm of daily life, grounded in simple pleasures and a deep connection to the land that anchors me.
Through my monthly Substack journal, my non-fiction book The Wines of the Languedoc-Roussillon, and my novel The French Bed, I share the stories, flavours and parts of France I’ve come to know and cherish. My writing is rooted here in the stunning landscapes, rich history and vibrant wine and food culture that also inspires the water colour sketches I post on Instagram.
I hope you’ll join me in discovering the beauty of France, one page at a time.
