I am so excited for you, mneme!! An exciting French adventure on your own!
AND having someone flirt with you!...that he wasn't your type is a detail...it still makes the heart flutter, nes't pas? My command of French is abysmal!

Lovely, Taps
I will keep this one, and thanks for your comment.   Just a few more days here, so I will enjoy them.

mneme, Your post here reminds me of a poem that I wrote a couple of years ago after a visit to Paris.  I thought you might enjoy reading it:

An American's French Leave

There is a time to go away
and take a break en congé
desertion from the cares of life
and focus on the things of strife,
Escape--freedom in Paris gay.
(Who would notice for only one day?)
Sit in the sun 'neath the canopies white;
remember the thrill of that special night.
Let go les petits ennuis;
reflect instead on the blues of the sea.
Nostalgia will fly me away, I'm sure
to romantic fun at the Côte d'Azur.
The mademoiselle in the slate blue jupe
(Oooh la la, when I saw her stoop),
her hair held back with une barrette nacrée,
(Do you think sh'd come and sit by me?)
Its the perfect place for je t'embrasse
Oh no!  Her companion is la maman!
