Le coucou de Claviers

–> Read my blog in French

My name is Jean-Louis Fraysse, I am 64 and I live near a small village in Provence.

Over the last forty or so years, I have written children’s books and novels for adults under the pseudonym Michel Grimaud, in collaboration with my wife.

Although fairly early on I had created a small website devoted to the succinct presentation of our professional activities, it was not until much later on that my interest in the Web was awoken. It was in March 2008, following a contested election of the local mayor of my village, that I started my blog Le coucou de Claviers (Hi! from Keyboards). As the months went by, the village quarrels calmed down and I started writing more and more posts about national politics.

Supporter of left-wing ideology, but also admirer of Switzerland, through the filter of France’s democracy, far from utopian for us, I observe and grumble about French politics daily… At the same time, my wife and I write another blog, Pages retrouvées, paroles croisées (Pages found again, meeting of words), on which we publish literary texts.
