Dear Maman

About the Substack

I write letters to my late mama. Sharing my reflections but also my day to day life in the south of France (not by the sea though because I'm a river kinda girl).

About Claire Videau

I'm a former multimedia journalist who now works in vocational education. I'm a redeemed extrovert and home is my happy place.
I read a lot and write a little.
I'm French but I promise I'm nice.
