Hi, it sounds like my mother. Born in France she came to the US in 1946 to work at the embassy. Now she's 90 and could live here or in France... but now she's more comfortable HERE than in France. in her mind France is like it was in 1946... > The next thing is learning the language. We hold French citizenship, > speak French <...> We are as well adapted to France as one can get. sounds like my wife talking about me in Paris... she says I'm "in my element" I speak french (poorly) and I understand how things are done. Paris no longer amazes me... I enjoy it, but I've seen the big sites more than a few times... though I'll still go to Le Louvre or the Eiffel Tower... Le Louvre has the masterpieces AND the changing exhibits... and as an engineer the Eiffel Tower is amazing. but the last time in Paris I let my wife go through Notre Dame by herself while I watched the sunset and rested my feet... I prefer the Cathedral at St. Denis and would rather spend a day at the March� aux Puces at Clignancourt anyway. ttyl akia

But it has some visible history since the Kings and Queens of France were buried there. And it has a number of stone crypts with the carved images of those buried on it. The contents of these were emptied during the revolution and tossed into the garden. Later, collected together they were put into the under groundcrypt, the bones could not be separated. |
