You know you're in France when...

1.There's a whole aisle in the grocery store designated solely for cheeses.

Oui, ce n'est que du fromage!

Jusqu'à présent, mon fromage préféré est le gouda au cumin! Ah, que c'est bon et pas trop cher en plus. Nous pouvons acheter un bon livre à 3 euros.

2. You're wearing the same outfit as the average Frenchman.

Who wore it better Hollywood? I'm still kind of afraid it was Laurent...Not only do we have to compete against other women, but other men too!

3. Every meal starts with an apératif, then the entrée, then the main dish, then the cheese, and finally a beautiful dessert.

Après deux assiettes de ce gateau au chocolat, je me suis décidée à me borner à un seul dessert toutes les deux semaines....la maitrise de soi n'est pas facile quand l'on est si entourée de belles tentations.

4.Breathtaking cathedrals dominate the skyline.

C'est un beau batiment, mais en réalité ce n'est qu'un hopital....ceci dit, les cathédrales sont toutes aussi magnifiques!

5. Those same cathedrals contain artwork qui remet en question ta connaissance de la Bible...Il y a quelqu'un qui se souvient de cette histoire?

I'm pretty sure this is the wierdest painting that I've ever seen in a so-called church building.

7. Trying to save an injured seagull makes you more friends than saying hello and trying to start conversations with people.

This is Gilbert. We named him thus for Anne of Green Gables...Lauren is the grown up version of Anne. Voici her lover. He loves French Fries, but I'm pretty sure they made him sick....let's just say it turned his caca green. Probably not a good sign.

8.You end up at an Irish concert performed by a Danish group on a Flemish beach in Northern France.

Apparently, the lead singer of this group has been at this for the last 40 years! Pretty impressive. Despite the "Drach" (Storm/orage) they kept jamming out for us. The stage crew was working hard to keep the instruments dry and to keep the crowd from getting electrocuted...For the most part, they succeeded.

9.Your average French home/meal is a barrage of produits défendus by the Word of Wisdom--from the wine to the coffee to the tea, we have a house and cellar of temptations(we don't have the right to get rid of it because it belongs to the association that we work for).

Le concept de réserves de nourriture n'existe pas vraiment. Cependant, il y a dans quasiment chaque maison une cave remplie d'assez de vin pour boire jusqu'au millénium.

Every meal we eat with friends consists of us refusing to drink alcohol, coffee, and tea. So, out of a desire to be courteous in some way, we end up drinking a lot of herbal tea; with a healthy dose of honey and cinammon, I've actually become fond of Camomile tea.

10. The 2 investigators and 2 BYU students that show up to church increase church attendance by 30%

11. Having conversations in the nude doesn't seem so absurd.

These women are discussing their new diet plans.

Sans aucun doute, c'est le Francais impudique le plus timide. Il a rougi quand Lauren a pris sa main.

12. Grass art is used to indicate the purpose of a location, building, or people.
