My favorite expat, my husband, Parisian-born Dr. Patrick Sacleux, PhD, talks about the perils of growing up on the outskirts of Paris and how he landed in South Carolina, for his first college experience.

Kids Takeover! What my 7 year old son and 10 year old daughter think about moving to France
Flying from Atlanta to Paris during the COVID-19 pandemic
During the COVID-19 pandemic when most were worried about the perils of air travel our family journeyed from Hartsfield-Jackson Airport in Atlanta to Charles De Gaulle in Paris. As a Franco-American family our experience is pretty unique. I walk through our check-in experience, travelling with an emotional support animal, in this case our family dog, a 46-pound Goldendoodle. I also discuss the decision to remove our masks on the plane and what happened in immigration when we arrived in Paris, France.
If you have similar travel experience and want to share please find me on instagram @allysacleux or shoot me an email and we could feature you on an upcoming show.
