France is amazing. This is actually not a secret. France is by far the most visited country* in the world by tourists. The United States comes in a distant second, with China and Spain followed closely behind the US.

I know, I have been, I just dont think I would want to live there. Ew I didnt know China was that close behind. Never would have suspected that.

So how long have you been living in France? Was this discussed in another thread that I missed? Man, if I lived in France I would probably balloon to 400 pounds. The food there is superb.

Brick oven isn't an option, though it's on my list of things I'll someday build. Currently I live in a 4th floor apartment. It's illegal where I live to put a grill on the balcony (though I just put a little hibachi out there  >:D). Anyway I don't think I could get away with building a full-on brick oven. And I don't have a reserved parking space.  :)

I don't. I live in DC. I moved to Paris temporarily for a 3-month internship in 2009. I want to move there long-term, but I haven't been able to find a job. Bad time for my line of work.

Dervacumen:
It's a bad time for any line of work, except maybe offering employment services.
Anyway let me know if you try any of the suggestions.  I'm interested in the feedback.

Howard_Casto:
So Shmokes LIKES France... that explains a lot.   ;)

Don't get me wrong, it is a beautiful place to visit, full of art and culture.  But when you stay there you have to deal with the French and that just isn't worth it.  Pretty sure the same thing can be said of Texas.  ;)

Texas is full of art and culture?
