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 -
As soon as polling stations
closed at 20:00 on 5 May in France, the first estimates

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

portraits we'd inspected so closely, tried to shake the midday chill that hung like a mist in
Cimetière Montmarte.

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.
