I live in France, out in the sticks, and we are just as confused as the cows chewing the wrong cud. My husband, who is French (but he has other qualities) assures me it is four locally, but then again it depends. On what, I asked? I got a big shoulder shrug in response, the French do a lot of this, as well as shooting a lot of hot air out of their lips at the same time, it just depends on people, apparently, whatever that means. I think it is three in Paris (too busy?) and frankly, I have almost stopped going to dinner parties because I wear my cheeks out before I even get to a drink. And as for leaving the dinner, well, I just refuse to kiss all these buggers all over again, so I grandly wave and skedadle out the door before I can notice any offence has been taken.
