Paul discovers how to judge a French vacationer by the rustiness of his bicycle; opens his English tearoom; and finally understands why Parisian waiters are so cranky. Just in time for spring in Paris, find out if Paul finds the perfect French mademoiselle or if it all ends in merde!Clarke, Stephen is the author of 'In the Merde for Love ', published 2007 under ISBN 9781596911918 and ISBN 1596911913.
