Patrick Briggs

Patrick is half English, half Irish and just a few bureaucratic hurdles away from officially becoming French—watch out! He taught English at French high schools before spending the past 10 years teaching English to future architects and organizing annual trips to Barcelona. When he’s not in teacher mode, catch him zipping around town on his bike or pretending to read at a café, while actually plotting his next adventure! His idea of a perfect getaway? Packing up his bike and escaping to the hills surrounding his beloved Grenoble. Patrick has a real knack for sharing that same passion and wonder he felt when he first visited France as a student and loves nothing more than a quirky fact, a good walk and a well-earned meal!
