by The Faux Pas-Cast
Most people imagine a Parisian’s life to be pulled from the scenes of “Amèlie”: driving tiny cars alongside moustachioed bicylists, while chain-smoking freshly rolled cigarettes, and no idea of what technology is because we’re too busy having sex all the time in our Louboutin heels.

We break down the taboos that Americans have and the French don’t, and the French have that Americans don’t. So, open up that bottle of rosé, and spread some stinky cheese on a fresh baguette, as you lie back on your chaise lounge
