Bonjour! I’m Leyla - I was born in Paris and now live in the bucolic mountain foothills of Eastern France. My days are spent exploring my country.
I'm rediscovering my own back yard after years of living abroad as a journalist and diplomat - and I'm loving every minute.
Passionate about history and culture, I’ve created Offbeat France to seek out my country’s mysteries and legends, less-traveled destinations, along with plenty of food stops and many castles – I am French, after all!
