American in Paris

I was walking down the street in Paris 2 days ago and I saw a middle
aged man wearing Tour de France labelled fleece vest and matching cap.
I just started speaking to him in English as he had to be American. I
explained to him that the Tour de France was considered sub NASCAR in
Paris, more in the tractor pull range.. In fact, I couldn't think of
the French tourist equivalent in the USA, has Perrier Nascar gear had
any success in the USA? Talladega Nights hasn't even been released in
France yet, it was supposed to be last November and no release date
appears now....

It is entirely possible he thinks tractor pulls are for the social elite
while he prefers cock fights, pig racing and rattlesnake round-ups. I hope
you were able to steer him to similar events in Paris.

Don't put down cock fighting. Once you put money down on one of the
birds, it can be very interesting.
