Off to France at last
We're off to France on Wednesday, perhaps passing CigaleChanta in the air--unfortunately we'll miss her in Provence. I'll post reports on Normandy, Burgundy, Provence, and Paris when we return.

I can already tell you where to have a traditional French meal of high quality: Au Petit Marguery, in the 13th. We're hoping that, with the advent of fall, the fabulous wood mushrooms sautéed in olive oil with garlic and parsley will be on the menu!

Just returned from 4 day trip to Paris. EVERYBODY was very friendly. The city is Beautiful. The weather was fabulous. August proved to be a great time to visit. Not too crowded but lots of people. Don't speak french and I read Paris is rude to those that don't here. Couldn't be farther from the truth. I spoke with probably 150 people there and the ONE that didn't speak some english would not let me go until he found someone that did. This is a MUST do city. Not ONE rude person. LOTS to see and do. Fabulous inexpensive subway.

And I'm leaving Sept 22 for Paris, Nice, and the Cinque Terre. Can hardly wait. This will be my 5th trip to Paris, but 1st for the other places. Thanks to everyone for your helpful recommendations and advice.
