Clos de Paris: Tales of Restoring a Normandy Farmhouse

Clos de Paris is the story of an expat American couple’s European adventures in acquiring, renovating and eventually moving into a three-hundred-year-old farmhouse in the storybook village of Fresnay Sur Sarthe in France, near Normandy / Loire. Along with many photos of the house and its village, the story is told through the author’s renovation updates and insightful correspondence, which she sent to family and friends along the way. Clos de Paris is more than a narrative of a home renovation project. It’s the story of a loving partnership in marriage and in life, with plenty of local color tossed in for good measure.
