Studying French and speaking as well as possible is one of the main reasons many of us love to visit, or live there!<br /><br />If you catch the slang, literary and political references, and polite phrases that are everyday expressions, it widens your activities. You will meet more people and have more reasons to make another trip.Janethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00757164325132544665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-92092608630373307142010-11-09T15:39:35.725-05:002010-11-09T15:39:35.725-05:00Really good sharing this.Really good sharing this.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-78358181561408080882009-04-17T03:00:00.000-04:002009-04-17T03:00:00.000-04:00Metro Abbesses Montmartre is my metro.

I had gone to photograph Erte's apartment in that area and had lunch there.<br />I also had it again at Cafe de Flore. I had not heard of Angelina's until I returned from my trip. I'm afraid that I never really ate near my hotel or the Parmentier station with the exception of a small Chinese place that had the most glorious dish that translated as 'one thousand perfume chicken.' I wish that I would have had the nerve to ask for the recipe. I have never found anything like it in all the Chinese restaurants that I have visited here in the States.Stephan Art Decdonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-35511128115857464452009-04-16T11:13:00.000-04:002009-04-16T11:13:00.000-04:00Ecole Militaire, the perfect metro!!!

Although in retrospect it is a funny story but at the time the 50euro fine did not make my day. Until I had oysters and wine at Le Baron Rouge (check out this review http://hungryinparis.com/2008/10/05/le-baron-rouge/)and the day looked sunnier. My husband's metro stop was Saint Paul, because he liked how that very pretty french girl on the loud speaker announced the stop!<br />Thanks for making me relive these happy moments!
