Saturday we went to the best costume party ever for our friend Frédérique’s 40th birthday. It was truly the most fun I’ve had in France at a social gathering. He had us all dress up as characters from the Fables of de La Fontaine, probably better known here for his “morals with a story” than even Aesop. I mean, people… Read More
