spring is in the air
How do you know spring is arriving in Le Petit Village? When you see the tourists trickling in that’s when. The past week there have been three different camper vans parked in le petit parking lot and random groups of people walking slowly past my front window, gazing around, hands clasped behind their backs in that,…

Project Runway
My last few French lessons have been spent studying passé composé and it’s conjugation (it’s not nearly as fun as it sounds). This is seriously mind numbing stuff and my mushy brain has been dangerously close to shutting down.

champagne saturdays
The Parisian must have been feeling pretty bad about last Saturday. You see, the Saturday after my birthday (last Saturday), he closed the bar early when I was supposed to be celebrating my birthday there with Le Villagers (he has the habit of closing the bar on a whim to go home and play Wii). I’m…
