- Listen, we're in need of a change and know that European things (especially French) seem to work well in the States. I'm prepared to bring over my know-how and create a Croissanterie or a Cręperie if someone is willing to fund it and offer us (il)legal immigrant status. I'll wait for your responses...........

- IMHO tourism today is based on exepriencing daily atmosphere, ambiences as much as on museum visits. Sitting on a terrace, watching daily life passing by, enter a croissanterie, a bakery,strolling through an open air market, drink quickly "un petit blanc" (glass of white wine), at the counter of the local bar, having a nap on a bench in the parc du Luxembourg, watch an amateur painter in a street of Montmartre....and finally go at night for a superb refined dinner for less than 200 FF per person!
