JusJoJan day 15: Paris
When people hear that I am majoring in French, the second thing they say (after “Parlez-vous français?”) is “Have you been to France?” or, “Do you want to go to Paris?”
I have not been there yet and would not say no to a visit to the romantic City of Lights, but where I yearn to go is the south of France: particularly Provence. I’m surely idealizing but nevertheless imagine beautiful fields of lavender and idyllic countryside. France is so much more than one city.

I always thought that “Parlez-vous français” meant “Do you speak French”.

It does. People think it’s a funny joke to ask me that. 🙂

Very true. There is Paris and there is France, much as there is New York City and then there is the US. Both are great in their own way! I love so many places in France, and Paris is just one of them 🙂 Bonne courage avec vos études.
