I never knew you were French. You visit Paris often? My mom wants to go because as you know, everybody has French lineage down here. Lol.

Used to... last there about three years ago to visit my Dad in Paris. As it turns out the last time I saw him alive, as he passed last May at the age of 90.

I took all but one of my grandkids there for a trip just so they'd be a bit more cultured about the world.

As it turns out the French have no specific DNA ancestry, according to Harvard Geno project 1.0 and 2.0. We're all mutts decending primarily from Germanic and nordic origins. Crazy if true.

90 years of age? Great life. Sorry for your loss Smash.

I'm sure that the Euro trip was memorable for everyone.

Thanks for the share

Wife and I spent about two weeks in France around 20 years ago. A man that my dad worked with for years owned a flat in Beziers. We stayed there and ventured the south in a rental car for eight days and then took a train up to Paris and stayed there for five days. The people down south were extremely friendly when they discovered we weren't British. LOL! The Parisians, not so much.
