Francophile humor...

You might be a Francophile if....

"you slip out of speaking English-- into French,

without even realizing that you did this,

but... the only clue is that the person you are

talking to looks at you-- as if you are insane!!!"



Oui, il est vrai,parce que c'est mon histoire!

C'est la vie....

Cannes France
Billboards... French style!

Only in France... 
 "Oui, Oui!"
A male friend of mine said it all....
"I LOVE FRANCE!"

After 30 years apart from my beloved French family, I had the pleasure of spending this past Christmas in France, with them.  I began my trip in Cannes, http://cannesfrance.ca/, traveled to Toulon, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toulon, vacationed with my sister  through Southeastern France Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region and had the devine pleasure of wine tasting at the world reknown Châteauneuf-du-Pape AOC- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ch%C3%A2teauneuf-du-Pape_AOC. I enjoyed the night life in Marseille with T and later learned the beauty of cognac, lavender and fresh mountain air as we spent a most relaxing evening at his mountain home, in the hills beyond Marseille, http://www.ecomusee-sainte-baume.asso.fr/association/multim/dvd.html.  The mountain images seen in this link are exactly what one sees when looking out the windows of his home... absolutely breath taking! 
And of course...I visited Bordeaux.
More photos and diary entries will be posted soon.
