The first country my mother and I visited while she was working for Air France was - yep - France - specifically Paris. This would be circa November 1968.
Moving from N. Merrick L.I. to Forest Hills, Queens was truly a culture shock for me. Going to Paris was off the chart. Thankfully I took French in high school and managed to get us from A to B and back to A.
One of the items was the French pissoir - outside urinal for anyone to use. It definitely came in handy drinking all that wine.
