Welcome to Based In Paris, a Substack by me, a Parisian Dream Truther, DC escapee, former farm kid, and Jew.

I spent the better part of my career in public policy in Washington, DC, and, thanks to my French husband, Paris is now home.

This Substack is about:

• Challenging assumptions about la vie en rose

• Sharing insights about France supported by facts and information

• Sharing facts and insights about Jewish and Israel issues

• Skewering assumptions and stereotypes about Americans, French, rural America, and just about everyone else

CAVEAT EMPTOR:

If you are looking for baguettes, cheese, and the Eiffel Tower discourse, that is not what this is about. I will not tell you the healthcare is free and we eat 2 hour wine lunches every day.

There is fake news galore all over the internet. This ain’t it. ;)
