Chrissie McClatchie swapped Sydney, Australia, for France in 2007, originally for one summer. She hasn’t managed to leave and today splits her time between Villefranche-sur-Mer outside Nice and Montcuq in the Lot. Chrissie authors Lonely Planet’s Côte d’Azur and Monaco titles and is at her happiest reporting stories about France, food and wine, and life by (or on) the water.
