Issue No. 15, December 12, 2007

Get into the Christmas spirit with French Tease, discover the twisted web of a French art foundation with Martin in Shadow on the City of Light, delve into the French retirement obsession with Isabel in Treading Perrier, and grab a great galette with the Grub Hub. Then read about what over 1,200 of your fellow hobos are wasting their time doing with Expats Paris. That not enough for you? Then take a peek at Past Issues, with 99 articles and 15 videos running the gamut from the not-very-useful to the entire-pointless, ranging from the Paris sewers to mushroom picking and from philosophizing with a half-drunk hobo to your co-workers' shockingly poor hygiene. You'd better call in sick because you've got some reading to do.
