P is for Pardon? And Pourquoi Pas? My verbal Passports in France ‘Pardon’ is a word I’ve come to rely on in France. It’s useful when you are going left instead of right, when you are trying to get off a crowded Metro train and of course when your brain freezes and you have no… Read More Pardon and Pourquoi Pas? My verbal passport in France

M is for Markets,Metro, Madame and Memories The markets of Paris are absolutely delightful. It feels like anything can be traded here and not just in goods and money.
