The Estimable and Lifelong St. Bernadette

Inside the incredible chapel in St. Gildard Church, which is located in Nevers, France, you will witness the well-preserved body of the renowned Saint Bernadette. Saint Bernadette died in the year of 1879 because of a agonizing illness and her body was hidden away from excited interrogators. She is the graceful and miraculous saint of the town of Lourdes in France whom the blessed Virgin Mary proclaimed herself to. It was said that the blessed Virgin Mary delivered a important message to the world through the graceful saint, and the language used was in native Basque at the south of France and at the north of Spain.

During the process of canonization, Saint Bernadette's body was scrupulously examined, and in order to do that they got her body from where it was buried for the unending 30 years. The medical officials, the church officials, and the nuns of the convent were all astounded by what they saw in Saint Bernadette's tomb -- the body actually startled them. It was as though it had never been buried for unending years under loathsome soil. It was well-preserved and her skin was still perfect save for some blotting, but the over-all body including the bones, organs, and muscles were all the same. This was the positive result of the three studies conducted on the adored saint's body. So when you visit France, be sure that you drop by this renowned church where this graceful sleeping saint lies in eternal happiness.

Well, for me, I set off with five French phrases before I made a bold move in pursuing the French lass of my dreams. I first dropped by a market and wished for "des fleurs" or flowers. I ordered half a dozen of white roses before I went straight to a shop and bought "des bonbons" or candies because if there's one thing I've learned about girls, you wouldn't be turned down with a box of appetizing candies. I was a bit nervous but I headed anyway to a local eatery where I met with this pretty lady. Sitting next to her, I gave her my presents and I saw she's really impressed and excited with "des fleurs" and "des bonbons." I then called her "cherie" or "sweetheart," before her attractive eyes stared completely into mine. I gripped her hand tight and expressed the words "Je t'adore" or "I love you," afterwhich she smiled and said, "Je t'aime aussi" or "I love you, too." I felt like the luckiest male in the world and though I twisted my tongue a bit trying to perfect the French accent, it's all worth it if you get to be the with the one you like.

Paint The Palette With Inviting Ice Cream and Paradise

If we don't have summer, we will have no bracing getaways; we will have no aromatic flowers; no sunny sky; no street strolling; no ice cream licking. This is a statement from my admired nephew who always asks questions about the expanded winter in France. According to him, he does not like winter because it is so frore that he could not enjoy eating his best-loved ice cream from Damman's.

Whenever I go out with my prim boyfriend along the rue du Cardinal Lemoine, I never forget to buy my little nephew a piece of paradise from the most renowned ice cream shop in Paris, Damman's. It is a refreshing tea-cum-ice cream salon which every agile French loves. Like my baby sweet tooth, me and my boyfriend also cherish this shop especially their bitter tangerine, Bulgarian yogurt, and amaretto. What makes them express for my nephew is the palette that they fill with kaleidoscopic ice cream scoops. You can choose your favorite delectable but not too sweet fruit flavor.
