I was a crazy francophile back in 2014 and I’m proud to say that nothing has changed, nearly three years later.
Je ne crois pas que ça fasse maintenant presqu’un mois depuis le moment où nous avons pris l’avion pour la France! J’ai l’impression d’avoir dit à ma mère d’accueil un jour que “nous sommes déjà à la moitié” et le prochain, c’était un “à bientôt” à la place Guy Mollet. Comment le temps passe vite!
