Expat Life in the South of France

Recently there was a news item in the English language press, which made the rounds in France as well.  It was a study of the eating and sleeping habits of different nationalities and how it affected their weight and longevity.  It seems that the French spend more time eating and sleeping than almost any other nationality (they sleep an average of 9 hours a day),  yet are among the least obese and pretty much at the top of the longevity table.   I figured that living in France, I might have a good chance to get on the same bandwagon - after all sleeping 9 hours every night is not a problem at all, and like the French, I too love my food. Unfortunately, unlike the French the kilos keep piling on - I’ll let you know about the longevity part later!
