Victoria Lewis: When you said chateau, I didn't know that was French for palace. Jacques Artis: It's just a country home. Victoria Lewis: For who? Louis XIV? You are now legitimately a fairy-tale prince. Jacques Artis: Yeah, but I didn't need a chateau for that.
Victoria Lewis: Holy crepe! This is amazing. How's your croque monsieur? Jacques Artis: Parfait. It's the national dish of the French. Victoria Lewis: Got to love a country where the national dish is a fried ham sandwich, and a fried ham sandwich with an egg is its wife. Jacques Artis: Croque monsieur, croque madame. That's funny.
Jacques Artis: Salut. Victoria Lewis: Hi. You're late. Jacques Artis: No, I'm French. Victoria Lewis: Oh, and that's an excuse? Jacques Artis: Well, the French do everything fashionably, especially being late, but you're in a rush somewhere? Victoria Lewis: No, but I do have a schedule. Jacques Artis: Maybe you shouldn't. Instead, take a break. Be a flaneur. You know this, flaneur? It's a French thing. It means somebody who strolls just to experience, who wanders with no purpose. Victoria Lewis: That sounds kind of terrifying. Jacques Artis: Well, you used to love to wander, remember. When I came to visit, we spent whole days just getting lost. Victoria Lewis: Yeah, but you grow up. You get more goal oriented. Jacques Artis: Okay, well, for our next goal on the Tour de France, I'm gonna take you to my favorite patisserie. Victoria Lewis: Oh, well, if you'd led with patisserie, I would've overlooked lateness.
Victoria Lewis: But, you know, you get older and you find yourself alone, sitting in your car eating a dinner of fries dipped in a milkshake five nights a week, and you start to question the definition of success. Jacques Artis: You're lonely? Victoria Lewis: No, I'm happy by myself. I pride myself on being a strong, independent woman. I can open jars and assemble furniture alone, but it does make me sad to cook for one. What about you? Do you cook like this when you're on your own? Jacques Artis: Yeah, of course. I mean, I enjoy it. But I like to think I'm worth the effort.
Victoria Lewis: You know what's strange? I'm here and yet I already miss it. Jacques Artis: That's because you've become a Parisian. Victoria Lewis: I've been here for six days, I'm hardly a Parisian. Jacques Artis: Being a Parisian isn't about living in Paris, it's about coming alive in Paris. Victoria Lewis: Well, then I guess I'm an honorary Parisian. Jacques Artis: Exactly. Victoria Lewis: Tu me manques, Paris. That means, 'I'll miss you Paris,' right? Jacques Artis: Um, sort of. 'Tu me manques' in French doesn't mean 'I miss you.' 'Tu me manques' means 'you are missing from me.'
Victoria Lewis: My old letters? You saved them? Jacques Artis: Of course I saved them. Victoria Lewis: I poured my heart out to you. I told you things I never told anyone else. Jacques Artis: Me too. Victoria Lewis: These letters are just a place I could truly be myself. Jacques Artis: You know, you broke my heart. Victoria Lewis: Well, you broke mine, too, but we were just kids. Jacques Artis: What does that mean? Victoria Lewis: That means that we were 17, and I was there and you were here, and I just didn't see how we could ever be together. You know, I started to wonder if we were just puppy love or a fairy tale. Jacques Artis: But when did you stop believing in fairy tales? Victoria Lewis: I'm not sure. Maybe when I felt like it was time to grow up, which was around the same time I wondered if our love was actually real. Jacques Artis: Isn't all love real? Victoria Lewis: Well, maybe that's the problem, that it gets too real.
Victoria Lewis: I built a business, a brand. To give that up to chase some unknown dream, I'd be setting myself up for failure. Jacques Artis: No, I mean, only if you perceive it as a failure. I mean, take the Arc de Triomphe. Everybody thinks that it's a monument to triumph, but no one realizes the real triumph was in its construction. It took 30 years to build. The real triumph is not in the final product, it's in the journey. What I'm trying to say is, it's not about success. It's... it's about what we learn. Victoria Lewis: I like that. Even if the analogy is kind of random. Jacques Artis: It's not so random. Victoria Lewis: How are these giant architectural marvels constantly right in front of my face and I never see them? Jacques Artis: It's cause you are too busy looking at me.
