Default Latin Mass

Growing up, all we knew was Mass in Latin. I liked it, it was tradition. Then when I reached 12 or 13, it changed to English, it took all the 'magic' away. I am not, and have never been a 'strong' catholic, but my parents were. So when it changed we were all little sad.
5 years ago, I rented a country cottage in Normandy, France, with a few girlfriends. Nice little village, the name seemed familiar, but for the life of me I can not remember it now.
Well, the little church in the village was the only one in France to continue to have the Latin Mass. I saw cars from all over Europe arrive in this tiny churchyard, in Normandy to hear a Latin Mass
I have to say, I was very pleased that the little guys had said 'no' to the Vatican, and are continuing to do so!!
I hope you find a church that has a Latin Mass
