There are many things I love about living in France, one of which is enjoying the French Apéro.

It embodies so much of what the French are famous for, as it perfectly represents the ability to enjoy the simple pleasures in life.

The French culture fascinates me. They have an excellent attitude towards life, especially here in rural France. 

They work to live rather than live to work. They take the time to see what’s around them, spend time with their family, and embrace the good things in life.

So let’s dive in and discover all there is to know about that fantastic pastime known as the French Apéro and the history of one of the most famous drinks in France, Pastis.
