Purpose of this site
This French Life is a free, non-commercial personal editorial archive by Shannon Pratuch. It does not offer a reader account, paid product, paid subscription, booking service or consumer checkout at this time. These are site-use terms, not terms and conditions of sale.
Using the library
You may browse, read and share links to this site for personal, non-commercial use. Please use the site lawfully and do not attempt to interfere with its security, availability or normal operation.
Content and practical decisions
The articles combine personal observation, research and cited sources. They are intended for cultural interest and practical inspiration, not as legal, medical, financial, immigration, safety or professional travel advice. Verify current access, opening times, pricing, transport, reservations and local conditions directly with the relevant official provider before acting on any recommendation.
Copyright and sharing
Sharing a link is warmly welcomed. Copying substantial text, downloading or republishing original visuals, removing credits, or using site material commercially is not permitted without prior written permission. Short quotations for commentary or review should be attributed to This French Life and linked to the original article.
Third-party services
The site may link to independent third-party sites, including museums, tourism boards, shops and social platforms. Their terms, accessibility, availability, privacy practices and content are their own responsibility.
Changes and contact
These terms may be updated when the editorial site changes. Material changes will be reflected in the date above. For questions, rights requests or permission enquiries, write to info@thisfrench.life.
