Bonjour and welcome to Quaint French Living — I’m so glad you’re here.
I’m Gaby, the daughter of a French mother and an American father, raised with a love for traditional living: slow meals, seasonal food, and everyday rituals that make life beautiful.
Growing up, I spent nearly every summer in France with my French family. Those experiences shaped my view of living well: simple, from-scratch meals, shared family tables, and a home centered on quality, not excess.
As a physician with nearly two decades of experience, I’ve seen firsthand how deeply food, lifestyle, and daily rhythms influence long-term health. Over time, I realized that the traditional French way of living — rooted in whole, unprocessed foods, seasonality, and intentional routines — is not only beautiful, but also profoundly nourishing. It proves that pleasure and health can truly go hand in hand.
That’s why throughout my posts, you’ll often find gentle notes on nourishment — small reminders of how French cooking and traditions can support well-being as much as they delight the senses.
Here at Quaint French Living, I share from-scratch French recipes, seasonal living, and simple daily practices — all grounded in tradition, simplicity, and joy. My hope is that this space brings warmth, inspiration, and a little touch of France into your daily life.
