1. You can walk to a tennis court and play for 2.50 Euros
2. Produce tastes twice as good as Whole Foods’ for half the price
3. You don’t have to wear a watch – the church bells always tell you what time it is
4. Camembert and Calvados
5. Rolling fields of sunflowers and poppies
6. The fetes that happen every weekend
7. Nobody is “too cool for words” – everybody greets you with “Bonjour, M’sieur-dame!”
8. You can read an entire book in one sitting – and you’re not even on an airplane
9. Two hour lunches, long afternoons, and sunset at 10 PM
10. You can watch two complete Grand Slams without once having to listen to Brad Gilbert
And speaking of Grand Slams, we watched Wimbledon at Cafe du Midi with other tennis enthusiasts - all rooting for Roh-ZHAIR Fed-air-AIR - and we were happy he won, though heartbroken for Andy. Maybe the US Open?
