What do French Women Know?

It was Sunday morning and the only difference in my routine was the absence of the potato pancake guy at the Raspail market on my way to the Flore. Armed with the complete Saturday/Sunday Figaro featuring the magazines, MADAME FIGARO and the LE FIGARO and a copy of Debra Ollivier’s upcoming book WHAT FRENCH WOMEN KNOW… I sat down at the only available table and ordered a crème.At my feet a small female dog barked at me before eventually jumping up to the bench and sitting next to me. Lutece’s owner was a

galeriste from Pittsburgh, PA who spends a great deal of time in Paris.A lively chat erupted in French and English about the differences between French and American women. Heads all around us turned to absorb our conversationUsing the info in Debra’s book and lots of anecdotal evidence I filled her in on the differences that she had been curious about.For Men Only-buy the book and use it as a conversation starter-it’s a no-brainer.
