From Em’s Perspective

So how exactly did the California&nbsp;girl meet the French guy?&nbsp; It all started when I decided to take a big leap.&nbsp; San Diego was full of sunshine and happy memories, but after graduating from San Diego State University it was time to start my career.&nbsp; I received an offer to begin my ideal job in&nbsp;pharmaceutical sales, but there was a catch.&nbsp;&nbsp;I had to move far away from my family, friends and&nbsp;beloved state, all the way to&nbsp;Pennsylvania.&nbsp; So I left my cute beach house and flip flops behind and headed to the wild unknown, the East Coast.&nbsp; My mom and sister were worried I might find someone there and stay in Pennsylvania. HA! That was the joke of the century- no way I would find someone living in a town where the closest Target or Chipotle was an hour away.&nbsp; I worked at the manufacturing plant for Sanofi Pasteur in Swiftwater, PA where the compound was like it’s own town of close to 3,000 employees on site a day.&nbsp; Every day&nbsp;I would eat in the cafeteria with my fellow sales colleagues and new roommates, which at the time I had no idea would become my&nbsp;life-long best friends.&nbsp; One day while eating lunch I spotted this well-dressed guy I had never noticed before.&nbsp; There is no way this guy is from here, I thought.&nbsp; The stylish button-up shirt with a slim tie, tucked into perfectly tailored slacks that were just slightly more fitted than most American men are comfortable with.&nbsp; Every day following, I would look&nbsp;for my dapper stranger in the dining area.&nbsp; I didn’t dare tell my new friends about him, not because they would surely find a way to embarrass me, but because&nbsp;he would no longer be my secret fascination.&nbsp; Then one day I received a message on social media from said stranger recognizing me from the cafeteria.&nbsp; After some conversation, we realized we were both going out for drinks with friends that Friday and decided to join forces and officially meet at the local bar.&nbsp; Ever since I felt the tap on my shoulder that Friday night and turned around to see Jesse’s smiling face, the rest of my life was forever changed.&nbsp; After that first night, we were inseparable.&nbsp; We spent every single&nbsp;minute we could together.&nbsp; I knew he was my soulmate.&nbsp; One month after the day we met, Jesse had to return to France, but I was not worried for&nbsp;I had no doubt in my mind we would spend forever together.

Q + A

Wherever you stay in France, you will be happy! &nbsp;If you are exploring more of&nbsp;France before heading to Agen, Jesse and I highly recommend AirBnB for your accommodations. &nbsp;We love to stay in “tres chic” local apartments and get the feel for the city- plus it’s cheaper than a hotel!&nbsp; If that’s not for you, of course&nbsp;hotels are widely available in Paris and Bordeaux (or wherever you chose to explore).

As for when you arrive in Agen, we are currently working with the hotel&nbsp;Appart’City Agen and their information is below. &nbsp;Feel free to check out AirBnB if that is something you are interested in as well.

Agen, France

We’re getting married in France! Jesse grew up in the beautiful town of&nbsp;Agen in the South West of France, and it is&nbsp;the perfect setting for our wedding.&nbsp;It is located between the cities of&nbsp;Bordeaux and Toulouse. Here is where you will find all the information necessary for your travels, whether&nbsp;you plan to explore more of France, or simply to&nbsp;attend the best party ever.

If you plan to explore France, we recommend starting your vacation in Paris,&nbsp;then making your way to our favorite city-&nbsp;Bordeaux, and finally to Agen.&nbsp;The train system in France is great. &nbsp;There is a bullet train from Paris to Bordeaux which we highly suggest; as well as trains from Bordeaux or Toulouse to Agen.If during your search you arrive at a French Website, open it with Google Chrome Browser and it gives you the option to translate in English.
