Letter From Paris - Harriet Welty-Rochefort - The song is "April in Paris" but from what I can see, May is really the month for romance - simply because the weather is better! For both me, and France, this last month of May had more to it than usual.


Election Stupefication! - Richard Erickson - The first round of the French election for President took place on Sunday 21 April. Here Ric Erickson reports the results and reaction to them on the following day, Monday 22 April.


France Wins! - Richard Erickson - As soon as polling stations closed at 20:00 on 5 May in France, the first estimates of the results gave presidential candidates Jacques Chirac a score of 82.1 percent and Jean-Marie Le Pen 17.9 percent.


Dark Places in the City of Light - Robert Gray - Strolling down the Rue de Rivoli on an afternoon in the month of April, my eyes swam with images of the dead. Looking up into a bright blue Paris sky, I tried to lift my mind from the damp, dank confines of the Catacombs, tried to pull away from the stilled-life portraits we'd inspected so closely, tried to shake the midday chill that hung like a mist in Cimetière Montmarte.


Fluency by CD: Champs-Elysees - Lauren Elkin - It's often lamented by Francophiles in exile that we "lose our French" when away from French-speaking countries. Watching French movies we guiltily sneak a peak at the subtitles, and reading Le Figaro we invariably reach for the Petit Robert a few times.
