OMG.

I lol'd so much. In fact, I may never stop lolling. (But, also, other things.)

You win all the things.

Thank you, will be back with better feedback later.

(And even the Canadians. I can't even.)

(Ok, reading this again now, and, seriously, it IS all the things. Nathalie, the ho of France! (I say with love.) Fabs forever alone! Brian's hang-ups! Poor Tomas caught up in the whirligig of Team France! Also, Pasquale having a smoke, and, Canadians! And it's all hilarious and kind of heart-breaking at the same time, which, yes. And you can write such nice lines. I really do love this like nothing.)

Nathalie's not a ho, she just has a lot of love to give.

In the end, it wasn't such a bad story. But it really started out a mess. I ditched a whole section of dialogue where someone points out that Nathalie slept with Stephane and everyone is all momentarily shocked and then is all, "oh, wait, so have I...
and so on. It was really hard to work in.

The whole thing is a basically an homage to our trip to Nice (also, I'm more than a little disappointed with myself that I didn't buy one, or two, of those liquer bottles in the shape of the Eiffel Tower).

Ah, it's probably good that you ditched it - it would have stretched the limits of plausibility a bit, don't you think? Now, if it had instead been people being shocked to find out that someone hasn't slept with Stephane...

ahem.
