Why We Love France...
Salut!
In the interlude between yesterday's story and its suite, here is un court-métrage* to delight your senses: foremost, your sense of humor, and then: sight (look at the flower field!), sound (the put-putting of a classic French moped: le VélosoleX), etcetera, etcetera. Enjoy it, share it.
Note: If you are reading via email, you will need to click over to the blog, here, to enjoy this clip (do not miss it! This oh-so-French scene will lighten—and set the delightful tone—of your day!)
un court-métrage (koor may-trahzh) = short film (in this case, but a clip!)

Wow, that took me back! I had a Solex when I was a Peace Corps volunteer so long ago in Ivory Coast, putt-putting along the red dusty pistes to teach health education in villages.

Even funnier, for me, is Mr Bean at a French restaurant:
