Score

My host family consists of an older lady with a husband who just retired, and their two kids (aged 29 and 33) who no longer live at home. They are catholic and conservative, the typical traditionals who live in the 16th in France. Very proper and well brought up....the first meal I had with them included caviar in the multiple course meal. They are somehow linked to Chopin, Mendelssohn, Fauré, and Yo-Yo Ma. I was warned that French people, particularly these upper class families, aren't very open about sharing details of their lives.
They just invited me on a family vacation to their country house as well as a few other road trips. I am cracking their shells little by little. Excellent.
