I’m at CDG preparing to leave for Berlin for RS BPV tour. I’ve just spent 2 days in Paris. I was first introduced to Paris on a RS city tour in 2019. It has become my current favourite city.
The restaurants are set up for everyone to watch the people. As I travel solo, I am constantly observing from my tiny table. At dinner last night, I decided to write this review. With 2 full glasses of wine on board, I thought I was very eloquent and funny…and perhaps better looking. The much smaller and sensible side of me decided it would be prudent to wait to write my review.
French women are unquestionably beautiful. They stand tall and graceful. Whatever they wear looks fabulous. Could they all work for Vogue? I saw many Mother daughter combos. Both looked fabulous.
I am not all about outer appearances. My motto when travelling is get lost 15 times a day. You see more interesting things that weren’t on your bucket list and you get an opportunity to meet local people to ask for directions. Everybody I asked helped me out, either by pointing me in the right direction, finding someone that spoke more English, or actually walking me to a spot where I could see where I needed to go. Yesterday afternoon I asked an elderly woman…looked to be in her late 70s or older how to get back to my hotel in the Latin Quarter. She walked me 3 or 4 blocks. I told her it was not necessary, but she insisted. As we were looking at my map on a corner, another woman around the same vintage stopped to see if we needed help. Young women and men were just as helpful.
I know how to greet and thank someone properly in French. They are absolutely lovely. There…done.
