Quoi de beau?

Sep 20, 2016

Quoi de beau? is a French greeting equivalent to “what’s up?” but literally translated, it means “what of beauty?” I’m a sucker for poetic phrases in the commonplace. Also, since I’m sure many of your are curious on what exactly is up with me this year, I thought I would write a short briefing on my fellowship and what I’m doing here in Paris.

Les Petites Goûts de Paris

Salut tout le monde! I arrived safely in Paris two weeks ago for my one-year Gardner Traveling Fellowship. “Les petites goûts” means “the little tastes” of Paris and, in this post, I’m writing about all the little tastes I have had in the past two weeks. Read ahead for my adventures with French paperwork, café crème, and Belgian political structure.
