Non, non, et non!
At least, not La Mom’s first St. Valentin in France.
That was B.C. (Before Cheese – Big Cheese, that is) – and before La Mom knew that Frenchmen could live up to their stereotypes.
The Scene:
Restaurant Taillevent, 15 Rue Lamennais, 75008 Paris.
The Players:
La Single Girl (moi, before becoming La Mom), Ze French Lov-air, Le Serveur
The Food:
Heavenly (although I only had a few bites)
The Apéritif:
Kir Royale Cerise Griotte
The Wine:
Château Mouton Rothschild 1983
The Dialogue:
La Single Girl: Thanks to your tongue, my French has improved so much.
(Sidebar: Oh mon Dieu. Did I really say that back then? So beyond fromage. It must have been the apéritif talking.)
Ze French Lov-air: Zat ees nice, ma chérie.
La SG (stroking FL’s cheek): My friends in the US are so jealous I have a French boyfriend.
Ze French Lov-air: You shouldn't call me your boyfriend.
La SG (shocked): Why? Aren’t we dating?
Ze French Lov-air (snorts): Day-teeng? This is what you see in Amairicain feelms. On sort, c'est tout. In fact, I have something to tell you...
Zere are two others.
And I plan on keeping all three of you.
Le Serveur (seeing La Single Girl burst into tears): More wine, mademoiselle?
The Conclusion: Leave it to a Frenchman to put his cheating on the table. The table of a Michelin-starred restaurant.
At least I ordered the most expensive dish on the menu.

wow...he was seing 2 other women, he was admitting it on st valentinne's day and you still stayed ?! You must have been very much in love to accept such a thing...
oh, now I get it- it was another guy, not your actual husband.
@Rosabell, Yep, this was another guy. No way I would stay with a stinky cheese!
La Mom
What a little merde, but it still makes a great story! And at least he was honest.
I agree with Adriana......Good for you the Rothschild was worth it.....Maryanne xo
Le French Lov-air était un vrai salaud! Only a French man would really think you might stick around.
Heureusement, tu as trouvé le vrai "gentleman." Not really sure which term to use; "gentilhomme" seems too proper!
Mandy

xoxox
Oh la la! Again.... Oh la la! This is a story ya just don't hear every day. Whew. Glad I read the comments that clued me in that this is not the current Big Cheese! I'm a little slow in the french guy romance department. What a funny story! (Now that I getit!)
