CHALLENGE: Paris in July 2014

I've started the last three four summers participating in Paris in July, hosted by Tamara (Thyme for Tea), Belleza (dolcebelleza), Adria (Adria in Paris), and Karen (A Wondering Life). I've read some fabulous books:

• The Paris Wife  by Paula McLain    (and The Moveable Feast by Hemingway)
• Z: Zelda by Therese Anne Fowler
• Half-Blood Blues by Esi Edugyan
• Waiting for Gertrude by Bill Richardson ----> sleeper hit, re-incarnated cats in the Pere-Lachaise cemetery: fabulous!!

Read in 2013        Read in 2012         Read in 2011           Read in 2010

There are plenty of options; it is not just about reading, and I've seen a couple of movies for this challenge as well. Why not try:

- Reading a French book - fiction or non-fiction

- Watching a French movie

- Listening to French music

- Cooking French food

- Experiencing French art, architecture or travel

This year, I plan to listen to The Painted Girls by Cathy Buchanan.
