Here is my annual Thanksgiving blog. Enjoy!
Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays and for the last eleven years I have published this French Thanksgiving vocabulary list, courtesy of my former New York French teacher, Luc Georges.
Since Thanksgiving is not an official holiday in France, many ex-pats postpone their Thanksgiving dinner for Friday or Saturday, but some are traditionalists and make it on Thursday. The advantage is that if you play your cards right, you may get invited to more than one Thanksgiving meal.
Happy Thanksgiving and be thankful for what you have and for your family and friends. What are you thankful for this year?
I am thankful for my health, my loving and supportive relationship with Vincent (we celebrated our 41st anniversary this year), my family, my friends, living in Paris, Eye Prefer Paris, my rewarding tour business and the wonderful people I meet from all over the world, the opportunity to travel and most important of all, good health.

I am so pleased to have Ann Mah as my guest this week at on A Bite of Paris. We went to Le Mistral, her favorite Paris bistro and had their signature dish, aligot, a rich, creamy mix of whipped potatoes and cheese from the Aveyron region.
