Many Americans that have come to visit me in Paris complain about the dog poop all over sidewalks in Paris. To be honest, I never paid much attention to it. But whenever somebody metioned it to me I realised that in fact it's true.
This has improved big time over the past couple of years. The laws have been reinforced and there are more signs around telling owners to clean up after their dogs. And on top of this, I have noticed the rise of dog poop stations all over Paris and the the suburbs now. It's great. They are little green stations with free plastic bags and a garbage bag.
My point is, if you have been turned off by this little 'issue' on the streets in the past, you no longer have to fear wearing your nice shoes out on the streets...
Why I started this blog
I've been thinking about this for a while now, and am just getting around to it.
I wanted to share my perspective of life in France with a different angle than many 'French-American' websites. What makes me 'quote un-quote' different, is that I started my life here at a young age and right from the start was thrown into the French culture because:
- I moved here right out of college at 20 years old,
- I married my French boyfriend,
- I starting working for a French company 3 months afterwards,
- I pretty much only hang out with French people here,
- and I live in a French suburb outside of Paris.
I was always frustrated by the fact the most websites only address older crowds or vacationers. A lot of the authors moved to France at a much later age. I would like to tell you about how it feels to grow up in the States and then to be thrown into the culture and start 'an adult life' in France.
My website will be built around little anticdotes of life in France. I hope you like it !
