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.

The 14th of August, 1904, this card identified as Paris -
Palais du Senat was written in French advising the recipient that
the family on holiday would arrive home on Tuesday at 11 a.m.
(confirmer notre arrivee pour la Mardi matin, vers 11 heures.)
The palace in the Luxembourg Gardens was begun in 1615 by Marie
de Medici who was homesick for Florence. Her son, Louis XIII,
banished her to Cologne in 1630 -- after she lost a campaign
against Cardinal Richelieu.
Children still sail their boats in the basin in front of the
palace. The gardens date back to 1257 when Carthusian monks had a
tree nursery and vegetable garden that became known as the most
beautiful in Paris. In the 1920s, Hemingway confessed in "Paris:
A Moveable Feast" that he poached pigeons in the Luxembourg Gardens --
enticing them to his young son's baby carriage with grains of corn,
quickly executing that night's dinner before a gendarme could catch
him in the act. The carriage hid the bird as it was transported
home.
