I lived less than 5 miles from Troinex until 1992... My mom's apartment has a great view on the Saleve and the Geneva basin.

I looooove Americans who speak French with a American accent. I think it's super sexy.

I love to hear French women speak. In my opinion, the language makes men sound gruff, but to hear a woman speak in that lilting French fashion is truly music to my ears.
