A la française

All over the word , French culture is know for the "bonnes manières" le savoir Vivre à la française .

Here are some of these good manners  hanging on my walls

Les elegantes , watercolor hanging in my show room

In this old time , the meeting could take place in the hoods ...( that is not really true )

And the gentlemen were Marquis

In this old time , men wrote " discours sur la romance"

Well , I have to tell you that now some of our french good manners are gone , and we have nostalgia of this old ( "antique") time
