Dining Doggies

I may not be able to get a French carte de séjour to save my life, but dogs are practically granted full citizenship here, without hesitation.

They are not just allowed but even warmly welcomed all sorts of places that would be taboo in the US, including high-end stores and restaurants, too. Big dogs, little dogs, outdoors, indoors.

 

And why not? They make excellent company...


...and love to eat a little baguette with foie gras, washed down with a lovely carbonated beverage. It's every pooch's dream menu.


I think this sign, found at a castle in La Dordogne sums up the national attitude towards dogs:


Translation: "Don't leave your dogs in your cars. They are allowed in the castle property." And just about everywhere else, too.
