Was in France once, in 1981, for 10 days. Spent half the time in Pau and the other half in Paris. I am 1/8 French as great great grandparents and children came to Humboldt county on north coast of California in 1860s. Stayed with distant relatives in Pau and Paris and later several of the distant relatives we met in France came to visit in California. Always intended to go back but sometimes things do not work out as projected. alas.
