Il faut bien se préparer pour Noël – c’est ce que la ville de Paris a dû se dire quand elle a mis en place des lumières de Noël début octobre… Cela m’a fait tant de plaisir que je les ai prises en photo pour vous, les petits… 🙂 (pardon, la deuxième est un peu floue…j’étais en roller!)

Obviously this meant the Scots thought they should immigrate all the Scotish people to the main-land. Result: Scotish girls and boys in kilts everywhere.
So, whether French supporters will show up wearing beirets and carrying baguettes around tomorrow at the game remains the question.
