At Home in France"As beguiling and delectable as France itself." *Mimi Sheraton "Ann Barry tells her tale directly and clearly, without cloying artifice or guile, so that it has the warmth, honesty, and force of a long letter from an old friend. She makes her reader a welcome house guest in her much loved little cottage in the heart of France." *Susan Allen Toth Ann Barry was a single woman, working and living in New York, when she fell in love with a charming house

"As beguiling and delectable as France itself."

*Mimi Sheraton


"Ann Barry tells her tale directly and clearly, without cloying artifice or guile, so that it has the warmth, honesty, and force of a long letter from an old friend. She makes her reader a welcome house guest in her much-loved little cottage in the heart of France."

*Susan Allen Toth


Ann Barry was a single woman, working and living in New York, when she fell in love with a charming house in Carennac in southwestern France. Even though she knew it was the stuff of fantasy, even though she knew she would rarely be able to spend more than four weeks a year there, she was hooked. This spirited, captivating memoir traces Ms. Barry's adventures as she follows her dream of living in the French countryside: Her fascinating (and often humorous) excursions to Brittany and Provence, charmed nights spent at majestic chateaux and back-road inns, and quiet moments in cool Gothic churches become our own.


And as the years go by, and "l' Americaine," as she is known, returns again and again to her real home, she becomes a recognizable fixture in the neighborhood. Ann Barry is a foreigner enchanted with an unpredictable world that seems constantly fresh and exciting. In this vivid memoir, she shares the colorful world that is her France.


"AN INTELLIGENT MEMOIR."

*The New Yorker


"DELIGHTFUL . . . BARRY WRITES ENGAGINGLY. . . . She] is very much at home in such fine company as M.F.K. Fisher's Two Towns in Provence, Robert Daley's Portraits of France, and Richard Goodman's French Dirt.

Exceeds performance expectations of OEM fluids
Size: 5 Quart Jug
You know I didn't think it would work as well I've heard all these horror stories but you know what this works better than the factory CVT fluid this stuff is great this is amazing be very careful to get your levels correct that goes without saying with any transmission but once you do that this fluid is amazing I have a better performance than when I had the new transmission I serve my CvT 35 to 40,000 miles I'm using it in a 2018 Mitsubishi outlander base model and I'm also running Yokohama geolander 015s on it. If you worry about tires for you Mitsubishi or any vehicle. I'm going to say you'll call when you lander whether it's a car or crossover or an SUV this tire is amazing it's best all around tire and your rain traction is phenomenal

Good Stuff!! All low speed shudder is gone.
Size: 5 Quart Jug
I have a 2020 Nissan Altima SL 2.5l and Nissan is VERY specific about using ONLY NS3 transmission fluid. There are only a couple NS3 transmission fluid manufacturers...Nissan NS3 (Manufactured by Idemitsu), Idemitsu (a little cheaper than Nissan dealer), Triax, and Mannol (works good too). Seeing as Nissan is still using Jatco CVT transmissions which are known to be very troublesome, and very expensive to replace I wouldn't try any of the so-called "universal" transmission fluids just to save $50 and end up replacing a $6000 transmission. The Triax fluid seems to work very good in my car. I don't feel the shutter that I normally feel when driving slow and need to accelerate. The shudder is completely gone and operating smooth. The old fluid had 50k miles and it was very dirty but didn't smell burnt. I ended up doing 2 - 3 1/2 quart changes with 200 miles between the first and second change. I plan on doing another 3.5/4 quart change every 15k miles since there is no way to completely drain the 7.4 quarts of transmission fluid. The first change, only 3.5 quarts drained from the pan.

Quality fluid for half cost in Mini CVT.
Size: 5 Quart Jug
Used in the cvt transmission in my 06 mini cooper. The fluid requirements recommended by BMW are met with this fluid. Fluid improved shifting and performance at half the cost of traditional BMW OEM fluid.

This CVT Fluid worked perfectly in a 2018 Chevrolet Spark.
Size: 5 Quart Jug
This fluid is fantastic. I bought a 2018 Chevrolet Spark with 30K miles and had a bad transmission shudder. Drained the transmission, cleaned-out the pan, and replaced the filters. Old fluid was black and this is a clear green. I loved the jug as it had a pop-up spout that was small and easy to pour, and the jug has a side handle. Transmission works great and the shudder is gone. I plan to change the filters and fluid again after 1K miles. This fluid is well worth the money!
