I am packing for a trip to Paris and I leave tonight. I studied French in high school, but since I didn’t have anyone to speak with, I’ve lost most of what I once knew. So I’ve been honing my French skills the Alice way. I picked up some cool French songs courtesy of some great blogs, (the links to which I’ve included below in case you want to check them out). I downloaded them and then I went online and looked for the “paroles,” which I found out is French for “lyrics.” I plan to listen to them and learn all the lyrics on the plane. I just hope someone asks me something that I can answer with “Les filles c’est fait pour faire l’amour.”
So if you’ve ever wanted to learn French, or just enjoy singing in a language you barely understand, join me in singing along!
Au Revoir,
Alice

Paris, my favorite city ... I can only say "Pardon me, but I'm sorry. I don't speak French. Do you speak English or Spanish?" And then the English flows out of them, with a smile. Have a wonderful time!

Hi ALice,
Nice to hear you're still kicking around all these years. Plan on seeing you on the 5th. Baaz
It's been non-stop since we arrived, between tour buses, boats, trains and of course the metro. What an incredibly beautiful city. This afternoon we had our first bit of downtime and used it to rest and do nothing but relax in our hotel room. Had dinner on the Eiffel Tower at the restaurant Jules Verne last night. Romantic and great food and service. Oh kay gotta go again!
Thank you for posting the cool, swinging sixties French pop.
