Une Américaine in gay par-ee
Bienvenue to all of the trials and tribulations of any American living in France, and after five years in La Ville-Lumière, i've acquired a few funny stories myself. It's all in good fun, je vous aime les français! Have similar croissant and stinky cheese-filled stories? Share them: @demilwaukee

Just received an envelope from immigration. Inside? My working papers.
