Lindy Viandier

Lindy was an advertising feature writer for a North Wales newspaper, has written freelance short stories for various UK magazines and had articles on language and culture featured in French Property News. She has a great love of literature and cites the authors Laurie Lee, Gerald Durrell and Lawrence Durrell as her sources of inspiration. Lindy worked as a nurse in Wales for over 20 years before moving to Paris to be with her French partner, now husband. After taking an intensive residential course to qualify as a TESOL teacher, she taught medical English to nurses, midwives and physiotherapists in teaching hospitals in and around Paris before buying Les Libellules, the 300-year-old house that is the inspiration for her memoirs. Lindy is an avid photographer and loves cooking and creating recipes using her home-grown produce, many of which feature in her book.
