Bonjour! I have always enjoyed my many travels to France. Unlike the experiences of many Americans, I have found the French to be warm and welcoming after I learned their customs and traditions.
I bought my father a French pipe, an Oom Paul. He had it for many years and enjoyed it until he dropped it and it broke.
I spent some time traveling in the south of France once and enjoyed the beauty of its southern towns and cities. Of course I had my pipe with me.

I remember smoking here once. What a pleasant place to smoke.
