Bonjour!
I will be visiting Paris for 6 days in March. The trip is a present for me and my husband. I am American and have never before been outside the U.S.A. I am nervous becase of this: I am a very overweight woman, even American standards. By Parisian standards … well, let's just say that I expect to stand out-not in a good way. I do speak some French, which I have been practicing, and I do dress well.Â
But still, I've been having these nightmares in which these skinny Parisiennes, clad in the latest haute couture fashions eye me disdainfully and snooty waiters refuse to serve me. I know I'm probably just being paranoid about the stereotype of Parisian rudeness, but really, what am I letting myself in for?
Can someone be kind enough to please advise? Merci beaucoup!
Julianne
