My Life in France is a 2006 autobiography by Julia Child. It was compiled by her and collaborator Alex Prud'homme during the last eight months of her life, and completed and published by Prud'homme following her death in August 2004.
My Life in France recounts in detail the culinary experiences she and husband Paul Child enjoyed while living in Paris and Marseilles, including her excited description of the sole meunière lunch she savored in Rouen the day of their arrival, and which sparked her obsession with French cuisine.
The book also provides a detailed chronology of the laborious process through which her name, face, and voice became well known to most Americans.
