Summer will soon envelope our days… which means holidays, relaxation and chance meetings… Feeling relaxed, we will want to test the waters and see if our charms still have an effect … As you may know I am French and we French have a reputation of being notorious flirts, like the Italians, but without so much hand movement and instead with the famous “French kiss” … Moreover one day I’ll have to figure out exactly what kind of kiss this refers to, because after 8 years in the U.S. I still don’t know. Do our French men kiss better than others?? If someone would enlighten me … What I am sure of is that the French male is a natural flirt …
Some advice for girls who will visit France this summer or intersect with a French homo sapiens …
The French male is attracted to the young foreigner, so much more exotic than a French girl for him. Maybe it is his goal to strengthen his language skills … Our male is Parisian and especially likes American young ladies, his number one target when hunting the female species! It might be the American accent of the young person speaking French… This is what I always tell Colleen, how charming it is when she speaks French, I love it!
So if the young person is American, our seducer will act like in the movie Amelie Poulain. Do you remember that movie? A fantastic tale that features a picturesque love story in Paris? So he will propose a ride on Velib ‘ bikes through Paris peppered with numerous anecdotes like, “ here ‘s some culture, we are in Paris!” Then a “steak tartare” – it just so exotic to order raw meat – in a nice bistro in the Saint Germain district. Detour to the Basilica « Le Sacré-Cœur », so romantic, great views, lots of quaint streets and the highlight of the performance will certainly be a romantic walk along the Seine + ballade on « Le Pont des Arts »…. Our charming knight will certainly attempt a first kiss in front of all the locks pledging oaths of love… yes our French Don Juan is romantic … And if the young person, exhilarated by such rhetoric and dazzled by Paris, lets herself be kissed, she might end the evening at Ladurée, rue Bonaparte after sipping a kir Royal at « Le café de Flore » and before a last walk under the moonlight at the « Fürstenberg square »…. Good night young and romantic American ! You ‘ll dream about Paris and it’s young Parisians…
On the other hand, if the young lady is Parisian herself it will be quite another matter! The discussions will need to be more artful, as the places to be visited. He must bring his conquest to the trendiest places in Paris where you can see and can be seen! A fashion shopping rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré is always appreciated. The contender may very well be invited to brunch at Costes, knowing that she will play her card in the style of a Parisian : bored and a little jaded. To spike her curiosity, our young wolf will display a discreet but accurate knowledge of the latest gossip and people post fashion week! In turn he could play the card of boredom while claiming a more intimate place to end the day… Offering for example some sushi at the new restaurant “Mr. Bleu” at Palais de Tokyo after seeing an exhibit. The view of our “Dear Madame Eiffel”- still one of our national treasures– will achieve it’s effect by convincing our young lady that this Don Juan is Parisian in every respect!
Our young man has so many charms up his sleeve besides his dashing looks, his sense of humor and his ability to flirt in either language. That must be why I married a Parisian…
HI! First time here! I have a question. Where was taken the last picture?
Best.
