Just a little French cafe vert, and news, to take your mind off the January blues.
I found this cafe on one of my American Writers in Paris walks
and couldn't resist snapping its sweet photo.
On the French front:
It appears that Gerard Depardieu has received his Russian passport for tax exile
and famed French actress and animal rights activist Brigitte Bardot
is also threatening to follow suit if Baby and Nepal,
two elephants diagnosed with tuberculosis
and soon to be put down at the
Tete d'Or Zoo in Lyon,
are not given reprieve
and allowed to live.
And Russia is now happily awaiting a mass migration of wealthy Europeans.
Somehow I always feel better after reading French news!

75% tax rate? Who can afford that? I think many French will be getting small apartments in Belgium to get lower taxes. That is what one of my friends does, that, and dual citizenships.
ReplyDeleteI HEARD ABOUT M. Depardieu!!!!! BOLD MOVE! And I adore and admire Madame Bardot for her courage. The French do NOT take things lying down. VIVE LES FRANÇAIS! Anita
