... family were 'ok' and some french were 'quite' friendly, but overall my advice to any foreign person visiting france, DONT EXPECT THE FRENCH TO BEND OVER BACKWARDS(OR BEND OVER AT ALL) to accomodate a lack of language on your part. Dont get me wrong ayms cousins and aunts were the exception, but generally people in france are too busy in there own self obssessed seriousness to bother about anything else. <br><br>I went to 'conquer' the stereotype of France, and try bring out a ...

... her bike back to her place. At her cute two bed apartment I met her roommate Emily and then we soon after left to meet Tiphaine's friends at a local bar. This bar had a great atmosphere, situated on a small street off of Notre Dame Square in the old city, it felt like an old fashioned mountain lodge. The interior was all made of dark wood and in the back room were small wooden tables and chairs and a stone well at the center. Even though it was a Tuesday the entire ...

Visiter quelques musées gratuit, (à cause du festival ''printemps à Toulouse'') c'est toujours rentable !<br><br>Nous avons fait le musée des augustins. Il y a plein de statues et de vieilles pieces murales des églises de Toulouse.<br><br>Ensuite la Basilique St-Sernin, très jolie puisque son cloché est illuminé le soir.<br><br>Et finalement les Abattoirs, avec un tat d'art dont du ne comprend jamais vraiment la signification (l'art modern...).<br>

... tour of the property. Their dog Samba was a little shy at first, kind of like Chloe. Claude started a fire in the fireplace and we had aperitifs. Then we had a dinner of magret de canard, which was duck breast. It was very good. And French fries. <br><br>At some point I made friends with Samba. Conrad tried at different times during the evening, but she wasn&#8217;t having anything to do with him. When he was finally able to pet her, she was so ...

... blocked our way, and the river route was under construction: route barrier, interdit au public. We tried several times to navigate away and catch it further along in hopes that the construction would be over, but with no luck. <br><br>Up into the land of the automobile with cars whizzing by us. KFC&#8217;s and McDonald&#8217;s made me forget where I was. Weaving our way along ...

... in someone&#8217;s back yard!<br><br>I was thinking that it may be a good idea to pull out the map to see where we were, and where the next remote area may be. We were pressing on 110km and the sun was hovering just over the trees. <br><br>Brian notices that another cyclist is coming up behind us, and shouts at me to get over so that he can pass. However, he doesn&#8217;t pass. Instead he us coasts along beside us and ...

... the tent. Bastine had an early start at 6am, so I had the hill to myself. The wild horses arrived for a morning slurp at the water source, so that was me staying put for the next hour enjoying their company. Half an hour into my trek back up to the point where it had all gone wrong, I bumped into Bastine who was on his way back to the cabane for breakfast (I'd left him a packet of chocolate biscuits and a pair of new ear plugs, as he'd mentioned ...

... cherry, raspberry, coconut, kiwi, banana, pear, red current, and passion fruit. Culture: We have observed that the French culture tends to enjoy life more. Unlike the US the people work to live. They enjoy the time they have with each other and spend time in leisure activities. We often are very rushed in the US and don't take time to enjoy the pleasures in life. Language: Both of us have been ...

... is waiting for me, we have a cup of tea and chat then we leave for dinner, I offered to take her out to dinner as a thank you and she chooses L'Enrecote a famous french restaurant that has been in Toulouse serving exactly the same menu since she was a little girl. The restaurant is quite the phenomonem and is 2 levels and is always packed it also has a really unique concept. Everyone gets exactly the same meal ...

... beans each, and not complain once. Then as the rate of cars started to drop we decided that we were going to be there for the night. We wondered around for a while and then found a leisure centre, conveniently left laying around. We found a wonderful spot under a tree, and slept for the night. It was remarkably comfortable; the only slight complaint was that it was on a bit of a hill, so we kept waking up in the night to find we had slid down in our ...
