This month in Paris: blue morpho butterflies in a Parisian taxidermy shop, a day at the seaside in Trouville with a bookshop encounter and a librarian's recommendation, a piano masterclass in Victor Hugo's red salon, voting day at the girls' old primary school, and a Parisian tour designed for British rapper Little Simz — including a verdict on macarons.
 
Sometimes you need to escape. In March, we escape through books, through Normandy, through music, through encounters with strangers in bookshops. In the notes, I explore the passé composé and imparfait in action, reported speech with all its tenses, tricky prepositions, and the very natural French of real conversations — including the colourful expressions of a man who outwitted his father with picture captions.
