We saw Olivier Giraud's show last year (April 2011), and have never forgotten it. He is wonderful at making comparisons between Americans and Parisians, as well as giving some pointers about how to act so as to be more "accepted" by Parisians. We have taken his comic advice, and it has benefitted us tremendously!! More
