Hello to all --
Sorry I have not posted in a while. Things have been changing here in Liquid French Land.
A couple of weeks ago, I was diagnosed with small cell cervical cancer. I was totally blindsided, as I had no symptoms at all. They found it as a result of my annual exam.
So ... I am in the midst of chemotherapy and radiation. No trip to France for me August 3. But that's okay. Right now, I have to focus on beating this. And I will.
In fact, I think of France as I get my radiation and chemo.
I envision the radiation and chemicals as allied soldiers at the D-Day Invasion. They are fighting to rid my body of the Nazis. My body is like France. It will get bombed and beaten, but it will heal and rise up strong. Go get em, Ike and Monty and Charles DeGaulle. Vive la France!
I still have plenty to post about loving France. Stayed tuned.

Beginning Paris -- Tell Me About THE FIRST TIME YOU SAW THE E.T.
Yes, dear readers, we did make it to France despite the volcano and strikes and all that wanted to hinder us. More on that in a later post.
Today I want to write about something very cool that I did yesterday. My friends are taking their 8-year-old daughter to Paris for her first time. They asked me to come over to their house to tell her about what she would see and help get her excited about the trip. (Are these great parents/friends or what -- giving me a chance to talk about one of the things I love best to their adorable little girl).
So I went over with a Paris picture book and a Paris magnet. We talked about all the wonderful things she would see. This little girl, Belle, sat with rapt attention. She did not act one bit bored. She even got a sculpture that she had made to compare it to those of Rodin, when I was telling her about the Rodin Museum. I told her about this blog, and she is going to send me some entries as a guest blogger -- Paris from a Kid's Perspective. How cool is that?
But one thing I told her was this: "For the rest of your life, you will tell other people about the first time you saw Paris. You will say 'I was eight-years-old and with my mom and dad.' How lucky you are to have so many years to remember that first time!
And you will always remember the first time you saw the Eiffel Tower. "
I do, don't you? My hub and I had flown to Paris on Christmas Night. The flight was a blast. The movie White Christmas with Bing Crosby was the feature (before individual sets) and the whole plane, including the crew, sang along to that lovely song.
We landed on a grey December 26. I was humming "I Love Paris in the Winter When It Drizzles." As our cab driver drove us to our hotel (Hôtel Lenox on Rue de Université) he crossed the Seine -- and there it was -- just as I knew it would look in my dreams, but this time it was for real. I have seen the ET many, many times since, but I will always remember that first time.
How about you? What was your first time? If you have not had that first time yet, how would you like it to be ? (Don't hold back -- go for it!)

Sending Out My Best Volcano Mojo
The countdown is on. Hub and I are flying to France on Tuesday.
Versailles for two days (I really want to see the place in detail, as well as the town, without rushing)
Then we get a rental car to drive to Chenonceaux, which will be our center to explore the Loire Valley for four days. Then back to Paris for the last leg.
I have been on pins and needles that we will not be able to leave if the volcano spouts again. I keep telling Hub that I promise I will be a good sport if we get stuck in France and we cannot get back home as planned. ;)
Wish me luck!

Vivianne's Tips for Paris -- Part 1
Some friends have asked that I write up some of my tips for travel to Paris, so I thought I would post them here. This is the first of a series. The next post in the series will address transportation. Many of you who read this actually live in Paris and/or have visited many times, but many others have not. I know that some of you are planning a visit soon, and I hope these posts may help you.
PARIS
I am sure that you have heard that Paris is the most beautiful city in the world. In my humble opinion, people say that because it is true. Besides its lovely architecture and lights, there is much to do there. A month would not be enough time. I am not sure what you like to do, but I have written down some of the things a person might like to do on a first visit and some things that we do on our return visits.
The Sights
E.T. –
Probably the most famous monument in the world
View from:
1. Trocadero Metro Stop (junction of Line 6 and Line 9) (more on the Metro in a later post) Just get out at the stop and turn left. You will be on a hill looking over at ET. Great for photo ops
2. Pont (Bridge) Alexandre – Great photo op here with stone lion and the Seine in the forgeround
3. Walking along the Seine on the Right Bank
Going up the ET. I don’t think it is worth it (the money or the wait), but you be the judge for yourself. You cannot SEE the tower when you are in it. There are better views of the city from Sacre Cour and from the Montparnesse Office Tower. But go early if this is what you want to do.
NOTRE DAME –
Started building it in 1138. It took over 200 years to build it. Napoleon was coronated emperor here (not the other kings though – they were at the Cathedral in Rheims – a city about 4 hours north of Paris, which is lovely – near the Champagne Valley) Notre Dame is one of our favorite places in Paris.
There are many cathedrals in France (and all over Europe), but there is something special about Notre Dame de Paris and its place on the Seine on the Ile de la Cite (island in the middle of the Seine) And it is the setting for Victor Hugo’s novel, Notre Dame de Paris (English Title: The Hunchback of Notre Dame) Check out the Knitlark Lane Podcast, where you can hear this classic read aloud. Free at http://knitlarklane.libsyn.com (also free on Itunes)
Free entrance. Take your time inside to see the gorgeous rose windows and all the side altars. Don’t miss the garden in the back, and enjoy looking at all the gargoyles on the outside. Terrific view of Paris if you climb to the top, but stairs are narrow and there are a lot of them. Not for the faint of heart.
MONTMARTRE –
Named because St Denis was martyred here by the Romans (mount of the martyr). It is on a hill overlooking the city. The can-can shows near the Moulin Rouge are known tourist traps filled with Brits and Americans, so buyer beware.
There is a good park with sidewalk artists, but we have found better prices from artists along the walkway by the Seine between Notre Dame and the Louvre, but this may depend on when you go and the artists you talk to.
If you have seen the film Amalie, you can visit the Bistro that is in the film. (If you have not seen the film, you should try to do so before you go.) Also try to view the films Paris Je T’Aime and La Vie En Rose (The Life in Roses) about singer Edith Piaf.
Restaurant Chez Catherine here has good onion soup.
Note: Because there are so many tourists here, beware of pickpockets.
SACRE COUR –
Cathedral of the Sacred Heart
Good view of city. You can also look at the inside of the cathedral
Lots of Steps to get to the cathedral
Watch out for this scam here: A young girl will smile and ask in English if she can give you a friendship string bracelet or ring. Then her friend will ask you for money. He might be joined by others, and they could get very insistent.
DO NOT get involved with these folks. If any one approaches you with anything like this, just say NO or NO MERCI. A friend I know calls these folks the "String Mafia."
In fact, if anyone comes up to you and asks, "Do you speak English?" you should be careful. This is most likely not a person in trouble but a come-on for some kind of scam. Just don’t get involved. They will leave you alone.
PERE LACHAISE CEMETARY –
Lots of famous people buried here from Oscar Wilde and Edith Piaf to Jim Morrison. It is very pretty, and there are maps to show you how to find the graves of those you are interested in.
CHAMPS-ELYSEES –
You can view the Arc d’Triomphe and walk down one of the most famous streets in the world. Streets near here (like Rue Honore) have the high-couture fashion stores etc. There is a museum in the Arc, but you get to it underground.
The traffic in the circle around the arc is famously wild.
PLACE de CONCORDE –
Yes, it is called Peaceful Square now, but it was not always so. This was where the most famous guillotine was (there were many) and where King Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette lost their head.
LA CONCIERGE –
Where the King and Queen were kept prisoner. But don’t go looking for LA BASTILLE. Although there is a section in Paris called LA BASTILLE, the building where the French Revolution started no longer exists.
ST-CHAPELLE –
There are many wonderful churches to see in Paris. This one is very cool and on the Ile de la Cite Built in 1242 to house the supposed Crown of Thorns. The stained glass here is really gorgeous.
ST-SULPICE –
If you are a fan of The DaVinci Code, you will want to see this one, as it was featured in the book. Even if you are not a fan of the book, it is well worth a visit. Great fountains outside.
LUXEMBOURG GARDENS –
There is a palace here, too, that is now an art museum with exhibits that change every month or so. This is where many Parisians go to enjoy a sunny afternoon. There is a puppet show and a carousel. You can read more about this in Adam Gopnik’s book Paris to the Moon.
LATIN QUARTER/ ST GERMAIN DE PRES –
(Left Bank) a lovely area to stroll the streets and drink in the sights and sounds.
LE MARAIS –
same as above on the Right Bank.
The Jewish Museum here is very interesting. This was where the round-ups occurred during Nazi occupation.
The Museums
We love art and history, so Paris is nirvana for us.
MUSEUM PASS – GET ONE.
You can get them at the Paris Tourist Bureau or at any museum. Get one at the first museum you go to. They have passes for 2,4 or 6 days. Not only do you save a bit of money when you have the pass (assuming you are going to a few museums) BUT (this is big) you do not have to wait as long in line. It is wonderful when you get to bypass the lines and get right in. You might wish to go to a museum that is less likely to be crowded (perhaps L’Orangerie) get your pass and then use it after that. You have to use it on consecutive days.
The Louvre
Formerly the palace of the King and Queen (one of their many palaces) and it is HUGE. You could spend a week there. GO EARLY, as it gets very crowded. Plan your attack. Go see La Gianconda (Mona Lisa) and Aphrodite (Venus de Milo) first. Don’t miss Winged Victory and Louis David’s painting of the Coronation of Napoleon in Notre Dame (see above for visit to ND). The Egyptian exhibit is terrific here.
Watch for artists learning their skill as they paint from the old masters. There is also a beautiful indoor sculpture garden. Outside is the Jardin de Tuilleries (Tuillery Garden) where Marie Antoinette used to stroll. It is now a lovely outdoor sculpture garden. You can buy sandwiches and drinks and sit out on a bench and enjoy Paris.
Musee D’orsay
If you like French Impressionism, this is the museum for you. Lots of Manet, Monet, Degas, Renoir, etc.
In an old train station – really cool.
L’Orangerie
Don’t miss this. Huge panels of Monet’s water lilies. He painted them for this room. Wonderful. Nice art exhibit downstairs, too. The building used to be where they grew orange trees so the royalty could have fresh fruit in the winter.
Rodin Museum
In the sculptor’s house. Good exhibits. Nice garden where you can see his most famous sculpture (The Thinker)
Cluny Museum
This one is my favorite. -- It is a museum about the Middle Ages set in an old abbey. Terrific tapestries, stained glass, etc.
Musee Carnvalet Free. In a lovely house in Le Marais. History of the City of Paris.
Musee Pompidou – modern art – cool building with colored pipes around the side
There are many, many others and many traveling exhibits, too. Just a wealth of things to do if this is what you like. More later.

Going French in Denver, Colorado
Okay. I hear you. You are skeptical. Denver? Maybe a good steak or delicious Mexican food, but French?
Trust me. I have just the place.
In my view, you can "go French" just about anywhere -- as long as you have the right esprit (spirit).
Hub and I had the opportunity to visit Denver last weekend. It is a terrific city. We stayed in the Brown Palace Hotel, a lovely downtown fixture that has been in continuous operation since 1892.
We walked to everything or took the free trolley that goes up and down the 16th Street Mall.
We found a fantastic French restaurant called Bistro Vendome. Denver was celebrating Restaurant Week which meant that many restaurants had specials where 2 people could eat three courses for $52.80. (Denver is the Mile-High City -- 5,280 feet!).
Our meal started with a roasted yellow beet salad (beyond delicious), then we each had cod with brussel sprouts (so yummy) and finished with a crisp that had cranberries and apples with rum ice cream.
We paired this with a lovely Viognier wine, and I had the French press coffee with dessert. Our meal was made even better because of the wonderful service of wait staff Kimberly, who seemed to take joy out of the fact that we were having a good time. Good wait staff can make or break a meal. Bus person Julie was super also. Bistro Vendome was fantastic, and I recommend it to anyone who visits Denver.
Going French with Fashion in Denver
There is a lovely boutique called Eve near Larimer Square (almost across the street from the Bistro Vendome restaurant) that had a wonderful collection. The owner Sabine is German, not French, but she had wonderful items from Paris, Brazil and Italy. She also had a gorgeous jewelry selection from local artists. Sabine was super friendly, without being pushy, and her shop would not look out of place in any French city.
Going French with Art in Denver
Yes, this was a bit harder to do, if one insists on defining art narrowly.
But loving art is something that is universal, n'est pas?
The Denver Art Museum has a fabulous collection art from the American West. There is some European art -- even Monet -- but the focus is on art from the western United States.
But there is French espirt here, too.
Enjoying all kinds of art is something that we should learn from those French Impressionists who were determined to break the mold that was set for them at the time.
We spent four hours at the museum and had a wonderful time.
if you like food with a Mediterranean flair, try Rioja -- same chef as Bistro Vendome.
And if Russian food and vodka is your fancy, Red Square Bistro has both. Try both the beet and the fig vodka. Yummy and fun.
So.. if you get the chance, give it a try -- Go French in Denver!
We are headed to London next week, so I will be reporting on how to Go French in England next.
Stay tuned.

My French Language Quest: The Tutor
I am DETERMINED that I am going to learn to speak French.
Those of us who are trying to learn a new language often have trouble when we try to speak that language in an ongoing conversation. I know that this is my worst problem. I can read ok, and I can often pick up the general idea when I am listening. I can even speak in isolated phrases when I think it out.
But heaven help me if someone actually answers me after I speak! When it comes to an ongoing conversation...Yikes. The problem for me is that I cannot think fast enough to figure out what someone else is saying and then put together my own thoughts for what I should say next.
The only way to get better at this is to practice, practice, practice. Then practice some more.
So I hired a tutor to work with me on my skills in speaking. Her name is Ly. She was born in Laos, but her parents moved to Besançon, France when she was little. She is just fantastic.
Here is what a typical one-hour lesson is like:
Ly gives me homework to watch a French film on my own. (Yes, I still need the subtitles). I either order the film or watch it instantly on Netflix. (Netflix has lots of French films that you can view instantly. If you have not tried this yet, check it out) Sometimes Ly lends me her copy of the DVD.
For my lesson, we discuss (all in French!) the characters in the film, the vision of the director, the costumes, scenery, colors and how they contribute to that vision, and so on. It is quite a workout for me. She helps me if I get totally stuck, but she makes me try hard to express myself without her prompting.
After that, we spend some time on grammar. Ly makes note of what I need the most help on from the last lesson, and she brings me oral and written work for that grammar area. (She has many areas to choose from, believe me).
Next I read aloud from a poem or fable or news story that Ly has emailed me so I can work on pronunciation. This exercise is designed to get me out of some bad habits. Ly tells me that my "nasals" need work and that I need to slow down my speech. She says when I talk fast, I slur sounds -- too much like an English speaker. (She calls it too, too Eegleesh.)
By the end of the hour, I am exhausted but happy that I am starting to make progress in MY FRENCH LANGUAGE QUEST.
