Health Lessons from an Elderly French Couple
My aunt and I were sitting in a quaint French bistro in Paris last Wednesday night. The tables were inches apart, mid-meal bathroom breaks were not possible, and there was no English menu to help us order. But it was just what we wanted – traditional and unapologetically French.
