France is the country of many things: fine wine, a variety of beautiful scenery, over 400 different varieties of cheese, smokers, accordion players, people on strike, the Eiffel Tour, baguettes and, or course, French poodles.

So you'd think I'd remember that I'm incapable of shopping at home.
Why would I think I'd be able to do it here?
