Hiya, Alaskan expat living in Annecy. I'm not sure if it's verlan, but just last week I learned a newish expression well known to younger generations but not so much to older folks: "Je suis en PLS." It literally translates to, "I'm in the Position of Lateral Security," which is a reference to the position in which emergency/healthcare workers might put an unconscious-but-breathing patient. It's a more emphatic way of describing how exhausted ("épuisé/e) one is. :)
Hi! We think it was Cigoire, but also, the name of the socks brand is "Félicie Aussi" and they do have a website where you can find all the names and locations of the stores :-) Make sure to go to les Halles de Lyon Paul Bocuse--just a great indoor market with wonderful stands and fun ambiance. Bon séjour !
I’m fluent in French but not always well versed in slang or verlans so thanks for the lesson. 😂 I have a pair of those saucisse socks brought back to me from a friend. I don’t think she meant to call me a dummy though. 😂
Exactly. Hawaiian shirt is not appropriated for Bossa Nova or Swing! If you're singing the Bossa- Nova you should wear some more Brazilian clothing! 💃🩱👙
I just loved your last little bidding farewell part helping others along with their dreams. I am so lucky I found you here. We have a lot in common. Yes I’m from Ohio as I said before but I’m also writing a memoir. The undercurrent is following your dreams piggyback’d onto a love story. There’s a whole lotta French in it too but of the Québécois variety. And there’s the solo travel road trip part searching for Monsieur Droit but finding a t-shirt and a magnet stating in French to follow your dreams and its never too late (I was 40), now 52. My working title is The Greatest Love Story…That Never Was. 🤞🤞🤞
Little by little, you’ll get there! Just bring a bag with you and in most supermarkets you’ll find things (for the most part) organized in a similar way
You can't have known this, but your YouTube videos have already given me a huge leg up...so I'm adding this advice to my growing list of lessons from you!
Bienvenue à Paris ! It's so fun to be in a new world where we're almost like toddlers again, just trying to figure out the light switches in the stairway hahaha
Thank you, Karen—I feel so seen! Figuring out the stairway lighting was literally my task yesterday. 😮💨 (Today is figuring out how to grocery shop. Onward!)
I dunno, if you decide to go forward with the band a vintage Hawaiian shirt could be cool, although with two brothers who live in HI perhaps I've become acclimated to them. But come to think of it, I've never seen my SIL, a true native Hawaiian, in one. That can be your excuse ;) Love the sock slang!

J’adore ! And I had never heard of this, so merci merci for sharing ❣️
Love the socks! Do you remember the name of the shop in Lyon? Heading there soon. Merci!

She must just know that you (like me) love charcuterie 💕😊
That she does. As do I.
Oh no, not Hawaiian shirts! Why, oh why?
I can’t think of a single reason haha

Yay YAY hello and salut my dear fellow Buckeye!! T’es la bienvenue ! Wishing you bonne continuation for the book 😘
The tarte au soleil is absolutely gorgeous! Best of luck on your tryout, Karen 🤞
Merci merci ! The encouragement is much needed and appreciated. If you make the tart, let me know how it goes 😊
I actually just moved to Paris (temporarily) myself…so if I can figure out how my little countertop Moulinex oven works, I definitely will! 😅
Awww you made my day!! 😘😘

Chante doucement!
Wait. Will you need chaussettes pour chanson?
Yes, they'll go great with the Hawaiian shirts!!! bah-ha!
Oui! Avec sandales.
Oui oui ! En fait, en français on dit "claquettes chaussettes" which means exactly that hee hee
C'est gentil merci. Je vais faire de mon mieux 🎤🎶💕 Greetings from Paris
Bon courage!
Merci bien ! On croise les doigts 🤞😂
You could wear a coconut bra to complement the Hawaiian shirts. Lol.
Also Monsieur B (my husband) said the same thing 🤭
Tee-hee!!
Bonjour, Karen
J'ai beaucoup apprecie ta lecon de francais.
The Women's Retreat in the South of France, is it an organization that sponsors it?
A la prochaine
Debbie
