YOU can tell that autumn hangs heavy in the French air when wood smoke drifts through villages and chestnuts are in abundance.
And as Clare, of Dordogne Quilter fame, spotted in a shop window those chestnuts pop up everywhere and even have their own special kitchen equipment.
If you have any photographs you want to share with readers of This French Life then just pop them in the Flickr photo pool.
Or if you are a little shy, why not spend some time browsing around the work of others and explore France with them.
