I learnt by bitter experience long ago that to address any French female over the age of about 14 as mademoiselle was just not done.

Your Guardian article led me to this, about which I cannot possibly comment.

Mossie - You are being gallant at not commenting! I just read that article and am laughing so much, the people sitting next to me think I am going nuts! At least nuttier than usual......

Also read that other article that the French women are happier now that there won't be anymore distinction between married or unmarried state of women.........

A man hath no better thing to do under the sun than to eat, and to drink, and to be merry!

holger: It really does seem as if the site is moribund. Too bad and as I no longer have emails for anyone on my computer just want to wish you all well. I do check periodically but mostly now go to slow travel and the France forum there. Apr 22, 2015 7:54:32 GMT -5
