Hey! Just discovered your blog on Polly Vous Francais!

I married my Big Cheese and left everything behind in the USA.
Totally agree with the lights, lunches, and MIL!! Venting about it is great therapy isn’t it?!

I love your love story Kim

LOL I went to Paris and nobody fell for me :o( A lot of pigeons followed me around but no charming French men.

But I fell for the city, the food and the people so it was a one-sided love affair. C’est la vie. I came back to the states and dated one more mistake before meeting my very wonderful Canadian husband who took me to Quebec City to propose. LOL it was close enough to France for me. Better then if he had taken me to Vegas to the *fake* French hotels that everyone is always telling me I should go to if I loved Paris. I’m sure they’re nice and all but come on…. It’s not the same thing.

Sarah -> I guess it depends on the circles you move in, but I know of quite a few French female/English male combinations and not many the other way around. I suppose there examples of just about every international combination in Paris, but the generally accepted rule is that French women look north and French men look south. I think English/Dutch/Scandinavian women probably put the fear of God into French me too!

Question: I am an american, son of French-Canadian parents, who has spent a long time living in Paris. To tell you the truth, I don’t really know the stereotypes of French men. I think there are a higher percentage of French men who have very limp handshakes, and I don’t always understand their in-group, out-group cliques, but I have not met an American woman who has fallen for a French guy. As a result, I don’t know the stereotypes…..but I’m interested! Can you suggest any websites to catch up on my cliches?
