Life launched, lessons learned
Times Staff WriterI moved to Paris in March. Some would say my timing couldn't have been worse, with the value of the dollar eroding and French-American relations icy.

The best of the Lot
Times Staff WriterIf French rivers were royalty, I suppose the Seine would be king, exerting its Parisian will over courtiers like the dashing Loire (storybook castles, medieval towns, rolling green fields) and the Dordogne (more castles, more towns, more green).
