"I see London, I see France..."
Vive les grandes vacances!
Like E.T., this French Girl is going home. Family. Friends. Stolen moments.Sightseeing. Picture taking. People watching.Café terraces. Public gardens. Old buildings.Outdoor markets. Plane trees lining beautiful roads.Pâtisseries. Warm baguettes. Petit pichet de rosé. Grand pichet?Small cars. Small apartments. Small beds.Slower pace. Time to observe; to regroup; to reflect; to plan.History at every street corner.
Place de la République. Rue du Général de Gaulle. Avenue de la LibérationCharles Trénet songs.Stereotypes? Pourquoi pas, if they are based on truth...Childhood memories.Familiar sights. A sense of belonging. Old Europe. La Belle France. Home.-- French Girl in Seattle, June 2013 --Charles Trénet understood...
Afterword:Do you want to travel with French Girl in Seattle this summer?
