The musings of a ‘femme d’un certain âge’ who longs to live in France. July 8, 2015. 8216;Faire la Bise’ – to kiss or not to kiss? And then how many times?

Perhaps because my love affair with France started in Paris, I have been following the story about the ‘Pont des Arts’ with some interest. Pont des Arts love locks removed:. Here is a recent photo of the bridge, without the padlocks, taken by &...

The musings of a ‘femme d’un certain âge’ who longs to live in France. Daily Archives: June 19, 2015. June 19, 2015. Continuing the news theme, here are two more stories that have caught my eye recently:.
