The French Provincial Kitchen
June 22, 2008
By France.com
French provincial kitchens only exist outside France. The average French kitchen is a modest, uncluttered, practical affair. It is not designed to be an exotic showroom of carpentry and exquisite furniture. We do not crowd the walls with cook books, artworks, eccentric displays of dried herbs and other paraphernalia. We don’t suspend pots and pans and other jangling ironmongery from the ceiling. We like to keep our gadgets and our utensils out of sight, just as we hate to smell what we’re cooking throughout the house. Cooking smells, like cooking equipment, are confined to the cuisine and the salle de manger. Just as good food must appear effortless and fresh so must the kitchen appear spotless and ready to burst into action at a moment’s notice.

By France.com
We scheduled an Eiffel Tower dinner and Siene cruise tour for 308 Euros and at the last minute my wife came down sick and we could not reschedule the excursion. I attempted to reschedule although no one replied until a day later with a terse reply, Quote:  "I feel sorry for you it is not possible. There is nothing I can do for you. The cruise was booked for May 30. And regarding cancellation the tour operator requires a minimum of 2 days before the departure of the tour.

The characters in Besson’s signature film, « Le grand bleu », set records by diving deeper and deeper and exactly describe their creator’s ambition : film after film, as a scriptwriter, director, producer, to achieve new cinema lows that will translate into box office records.

June 18, 2008
By France.com
Faced with a terrible film, a resourceful viewer, and irrepressible positive thinker, mines it for hidden reasons that may give it a hint of interest.
In such a perspective, even « Les anges de l’apocalypse » is not an absolute waste of time : the film provides clues about Besson’s amazing success, if not as a scriptwriter or a filmmaker, as a business man.

It was a great experience and would recommend it to anyone.
