I know, it would be nice to show a beautiful street scene without graffiti. Good luck finding one anywhere in Europe these days.
Regardless: I need to get back to Paris, and soon.
It still well and truly annoys me that the Frogs do actually cook as well as they claim.
My German family thinks they know how to cook sauerkraut. Hah.
If you do make it to Paris you might want to tootle over to Alsace and admire the French-German fusion, which the Alsatians achieve by loathing both the French and the Germans while speaking a sprache-patois impenetrable to both. If you are an Afrikaans speaker you just might get it.
I was always stuffed like a Strasbourg goose, with an appropriately fatty liver – mine, not the goose’s.
