Many of you know that La Croque Madame is a Stanford sports nut. Therefore I was very happy when Stanford beat USC in football 21-14. People thought that since we no longer had Andrew Luck as our quarterback, that we were done. But the Cardinal has a new quarterback, Josh Nunes. He was interviewed on ESPN for a segment that aired this morning. Besides being a cool quarterback, it turns out that Josh took 3 years of French in high school, and that he was asked a question in French. Josh answered in French; pretty good French, too.
So, French is for diplomats, science geeks AND American football players. Ouais!

A new place to visit! Saint-Cirq Lapopie, recently voted France's favorite village
Bonjour tout le monde!
As I was perusing the newspaper, I came across this Los Angeles Times article on a cool medieval town that is suffering from its popularity. Although I have not been to this part of France, it seems like a great place that is "off the beaten path"; after all, who doesn't want to go where the locals go?
