The "deuxième quinzaine" of August starts in a couple days, meaning vacation time for many here in France. And this year, I'll be joining in!
I, too, get to load up the car with maillots and robes d'été and head South (on the passenger side, bien sûr—CA licenses still aren't up to speed here), pretending to be Augustine in La Gloire de mon père (minus the kids). I've been listening to my "Relaxing in Provence" cd and am ready to nap in lavender fields. So please, cicadas, forget La Fontaine, and keep singing!
