A few words about where I live
Part of the INSEAD experience is spending a year in (wealthy) French countryside. I live in a little village North of Fontainebleau. The local church is a 12-13th century church that, allegedly Voltaire attended on his first communion day. Last Sunday was quite interesting. Very elegantly saddled horses were lined up in front of the Church. I thought “Oaow, some people still actually ride horses to go places in this country”. Inside the church was a line of people with costumes stolen from a James Ivory movie setting. Black leather horse boots, impeccable white trousers (very surprised that these people managed to keep their pants clean for more than 30 seconds in the vicinity of horses), navy blue jackets with silver buttons, white shirts and for men, a beige silk tie, whereas women wore a beige silk scarf.
