In the spirit of full disclosure, I didn't buy the entire tower: that would be pretentious, not to mention pricey---a recent study by Italy's Monza and Brianza Chamber of Commerce valued the Eiffel Tower at more than half a trillion (yes, with a T) dollars!

But I did purchase an original Eiffel Tower spiral staircase. You see, when the tower first opened to the public in 1889, before the elevators were…

There is no kids' food in French school lunches. While the French serve things most of our kids would recognize (lasagna, for example), they also have kids eating everything from beet salad to endive, lentils to lettuce, and even roast guinea fowl and stinky blue cheese. And that’s what the preschoolers get.

Six million French…

Attention, French natives: Do you mind if I ask you guys a personal question? How often do you folks  wash your hair?



No, I'm not trying to raise hackles (or plumes de cou, for that matter), but I recently read a  factoid online stating that 90% of Americans wash their hair every day.
