French Fried: The Culinary Capers of an American in Paris, by Harriet Welty Rochefort, 2001. Harriet continues her attempts to demystify the French with French Fried, the saucy-sometimes spicy - and often hilarious tale of one American woman's 30-year foray into the byzantine world of French cuisine. And when it comes to food, Rochefort's experiences are anything but dull or traditional. When she first arrives in France, she dines on onion soup with her concierge. When she finally gets a decent apartment with a kitchen it turns out that there's both a shower - and a cop - in it.

Just A Bit of History
South of Paris (14 kilometres) near the town of Orly is Orly Airport. It has
two terminals refered to as Orly-Sud (Orly South) and Orly-Ouest (Orly West).
Built in 1932 to suplant Le Bourget (1919) as the main airport of Paris,
Orly is now overshadowed by Roissy-Charles de Gaulle
for international flight, but remains the principal Paris airport for regional/domestic flights within France.
How to get to and from Orly
The Airport Shuttle:
Either shared, or
personal service to anywhere in Paris. Arrange your pickup in advance - the
Airport Shuttle
will be waiting for you when you arrive.
And waiting to bring you back to the airport when you depart at the end of your stay. The Airport Shuttle
operates from all Paris airports, including Roissy-CDG and Orly.
Air France Bus ticket from the 1990s. Its a bit more expensive nowadays and is in euros.

ways into town.
