Faux Pas #1


While we aim to highlight the best of our fashion experiences in France, we couldn’t help but share a particularly cringe-worthy fashion moment.  While waiting to meet up avec un ami for some mid-afternoon coffee, we spotted a family that was obviously not blending in. Americans. Here were the telltale signs:

1) They were eating on a bench. In the middle of a bridge. To the french, meals are considered sacred rituals that might very well go on for four hours at a time. There is very little snacking between meals.  And definitely no snacking on the go.

2) They were wearing sneakers. Not the fashionable kind that are weaseling their way into magazines, but actual, bright white, matching tennis shoes that only tourists would be caught dead in.
