There’s a new Paris web site from the tourist office— www.cestsoparis.com (C’est so Paris or It is so Paris). It not only provides handy information for visitors, upcoming events, and some special offers but also mocks the French. There’s a tab showing you how to cop a Parisian attitude with amusing illustrated explanations of typical gestures (e.g., the Gallic shrug: “Use it to deny knowledge, agreement or responsibility”). Hmmm, I don’t see the lip thing they do when they’re irritated with you…they pucker up their lips while blowing out a puff of air… Check it out.
