Sorbonne? maybe a Jr. year abroad there?

re Quebec-ey talk... I constantly run into this BS esp. witha guy here who does even speak French(!) As a native son of Louisiana, my bias is: I do NOT think we have to shoehorn everyone into the Procrustian bed of std., modern Parisian French. That (further) damages linguistic diversity, which is already dying out. The attempt to destroy Cajun French and Creole French was a big issue in Louisiana decades ago, and they largely did crush those dialects.

Too bad she cannot safely visit North Africa, where the food & culture also has a nice French influence...

Again, any of the top 100 small liberal arts colleges will be great. Maybe there is some French culture at Bowdoin in Maine?

She does sound like a perfect Reedie fit.
