I’m in France and I’m writing about it. But I didn’t want to write the sort of blog where my every movement is recounted in painstaking detail. So, I’m incorporating Les Essais de Montaigne as inspiration for my own observations. There are 107 essays, and if I write regularly every other day as I intend to do then that should take me just about to the end of my stay in France.
Thanks for reading,
Jimmy
Essay as I might 
So many French words already! So sophisticated. I am overwhelmed.
GOOD LUCK JIMMY! I MISS YOU!!!
Is there a particular order of Montaingne’s essays that you will be following?
I think just the order in which he wrote them, since he wrote them over the course of many yearw. I plan on reading straight through the book.
Bonjour Jimmy,
