Should I wear black in France?

Okay, that’s just tacky unless you’re on the court.

**Exactly.

She doesn’t have a work permit… **

Bosda, I’m still a bit lost. Could you spell it out for me? Apparently I forgot to take my pumice pills because I’m rather dense today.

I’ll give you a hint.

Got to Amazon/Popular Music.

Look for CDs by The Chieftans, a celtic/Irish band.

Look for a song entitled “The Black Velvet Band”, & see if they have an excerpt available online.

No, No , No!
You have it all wrong.

When in France, you should wear black pants and a horizontal striped black and white shirt. Wear black ballet slippers. Wear a black Baret. If possible, wear very light coloured make-up and a red lipstick. You will get bonus points if you draw little black x’s on your eye lids.

Trust me. They will love it.

Lillith Fair, have fun! May I recommend Versailles, l’Musee d’Orsay (I butchered the spelling. Its on the Seine and it used to be a train station.), and Napeleon’s Tomb (a huge coffin for such a small guy). Also, learn a few French phrases. “Hello,” “goodbye,” “thank you,” “excuse me.” They’ll go a long way. Also learn “Do you speak English?” A good deal of the people in the touristy areas do, but its just polite to ask first.*

You got the spelling right, actually. Except it’s le Musée d’Orsay since you only collapse the “le” when it precedes a vowel sound. And the place where Napoleon’s tomb is in is l’Hôtel des Invalides.
