A Vietnamese heart in the French countryside
Bonjour, I’m Thao—a Vietnamese woman building a quiet and joyful life in the French countryside.
Chez Thao Hoang is where I share seasonal recipes, garden stories, slow travels, and the little moments that make everyday life meaningful.
My story
I grew up with the flavors, traditions, and warmth of Vietnam. Today, I live in France, surrounded by old villages, changing seasons, garden harvests, and a slower rhythm of life.
These two worlds are at the heart of Chez Thao Hoang.
In my kitchen, Vietnamese herbs meet French produce. In the garden, I grow ingredients that remind me of home alongside the flowers and fruits of the French countryside. When I travel, I look for quiet streets, local markets, and stories hidden in ordinary places.
Chez Thao Hoang is not about creating a perfect life. It is about noticing the beauty already present in everyday life.
From Vietnam
Vietnam gave me my love of generous meals, fresh herbs, strong flavors, family traditions, and the belief that food brings people together.
Life in France
France has taught me to appreciate the seasons, long meals, local ingredients, beautiful villages, and the pleasure of living a little more slowly.
The little things I believe in
A little more about me
I love early mornings in the garden, handwritten notebooks, homemade meals, village markets, quiet cafés, and bringing flowers into the house.
I am happiest when I am cooking for people I love, discovering somewhere new, or standing in the garden with dirt on my hands.
Thank you for visiting my little home online.
I hope Chez Thao Hoang feels like a warm table where you can stay, explore, and return whenever you need a quiet moment.
With love,
Thao
