I wrote a song in French; while in France [I Speak French]

French has many cognates with English words...
table (taaabulll) is (tab. blu) in French; just a different pronunciation.

Sunflower is tournesol...turn e sol...turn to the SUN.
I learned this while riding the TJV from Lyon to Marseille.
Beautiful "champs des tournesols", Fields of Sunflowers.

I wrote the song but haven't recorded it yet. Should.
Tres Francais in the feel of the melody as well.
I can hear it recorded with accordian!

France is a beautiful place
and French is a hard but beautiful and very diplomatic language.

I have sung in many languages. But French is the only other language in which I have written a complete song. I love French composers: Gounod, Faure, Polenc. and singers, Edith Piaf.
I love the movies that are placed in France: Ratatouille, Midnight in Paris (must see) and Amelie. (R rated... such a GOOD story; with subtitles) and Life is Beautiful (warning; hard movie to watch; so good).

@AliceinWonderland Yes, I heard that at night they turn to face each other to "share heat" and energy. I love them. Have them in my home.

@AliceinWonderland Imagine there were a flower that would turn its head to the moon! 🌓

@helenS There is such a bush as a "moonflower" which opens; almost like fireworks after dusk, when it's dark enough to see the moon and stars.
