Cocktail-Conférence
Thirza Vallois
April 25 at 6pm

at Vista del Lago Country Club House,
in the Bennett Valley section of Santa Rosa

Come and enjoy an evening with Thirza Vallois when she will be presenting her latest
book "Aveyron, A Bridge to French Arcadia."

A long-time Paris resident and an agrégée of the Sorbonne, Thirza Vallois is the acclaimed author of the highly acclaimed "Around and About Paris" series, "Romantic Paris". She has also written the Paris Entry for the Encarta Encyclopaedia and has appeared on BBC, PBS, CNN, NPR, Discovery, The Travel Channel, the French Cultural Channel, and contributes regularly on Paris and France to the international media the Financial Times, United Airlines' Hemispheres, and Condé Nast Traveller, among others.

After decades of devotion to her beloved Paris, Thirza Vallois has ventured into the last and most remote corner of France. She has come back astounded by what she has discovered. At tonight's presentation she will share with you her amazing journey to the Averyon, where the cutting-edge Millau Viaduct and the ancient Roquefort cheese cohabit, where Knights Templar villages host anti-globalization rallies, where Michelin-starred restaurants serve contemporary cuisine next to prehistoric monuments and by the old pilgrim road to Compostela. Above all, in a recent poll the Aveyron was voted by the French themselves as the number one area for its unbeatable quality of life.
