How to Become a Parisian in One-Hour
I saw this smash-hit one man show last month and it was hilarious but so true. The Gumby faced Olivier Giraud rants about the peculiar behavior of the French while demonstrating at the same time how to be just like them in shops, on the metro, in a taxi, and even in the boudoir. Don't miss this fresh and funny take on infamous Parisians.
