Rhythm of France

Whenever anyone is traveling, we all seek the rhythm of the trip, the city, the country.   Are we seeking the rhythm of the waves at the beach, the pulse of the cicadas in Provence, or the hum of conversation at a cafe anywhere in the world listening to different languages with each having its own tone.  Perhaps it is the joy of travel, of new experiences, or rediscovering the familiar, something about the difference from every day living is relaxing and reviving in its own way.  In France, it can be listening to the murmur of different languages heard while sitting in a favorite cafe, realizing that the merging of German's staccato, to the volume of American English, a softer British English, and the smoothness and suaveness of French into its own tone and beauty.
