Did I mention I was a Francophile? Mais, bien sur!
And, also a member (and past board member) of Alliance Francaise de Fresno, a worldwide non-profit that promotes the French language.

When I take guests to Paris, our trek through Pere-Lachaise cemetary always stops to pay our respects at Ms. Piaf's gravesite. To learn more about her life, I highly recommend the recent movie about her life La Vie en Rose, or on your next trip to Paris you can visit The Edith Piaf Museum.As for a Fresno connection, it is a known fact that Mr. Aznavour's daughter has lived most of her adult life in Fresno.
Edith Piaf was a blessing to us all. The mere mention of her name brings to mind the power and range of her voice, especially her rendition of La Vie en Rose.
