Paris expat for 50 years

Published: Oct. 17, 2017, 9:10 a.m.

I meet with Jim, a 71-year-old Brit who has been in Paris since 1965.

This isn\u2019t a typical episode - it\u2019s a little more laid back, (but we still did a quick-fire round), and it's a little more conversational.

We talk about the advantages of being a foreigner in France, the differences between French and English people, and how you should never \u201clearn\u201d French.

Then we have a Corey Story, this time about another Brit, Sir Richard Wallace, who brought those lovely green fountains to Paris.
