AOL France Bids AOL (TWX) Adieu

Every time, I watch this clip it make me really sad.
The end is horrible with the "a louer".
Good luck for the future guy.

It's little wonder they are closing shop. If these garlic eaters spent as much time driving a business as they did making this video, they would be dominant in France.


What a joke, glad they dont work for me. I am the man.


your pal,

Please allow me to point out that France enjoys a different social environment (as some would use the phrase "socialist") whereas here in the States we practice the good old capitalist way of living. "Lay off" in France means a little different from it does in the U.S.

What a contrast to the bile-filled comments of the American crew - take note: This was the way to go out!

ditto! Viva La France

From a friend to whom I forwarded it in Paris: "Great video. It is circulating amongst the youngsters in the office already"

This video was made with song "L'Amour À La Française" ("Love in the French Way) -- a song by French band/group "Les Fatals Picards". The band had entered the song to represent France in the Eurovision Song Contest 2007.


A love song, using "Franglais" -- a mixture of French and English, and according to the songwriters it was meant to combine French romance and punk...

L'amour à la française

Love the French way

I remember jolie demoiselle
I remember beautiful girl
The last summer, nous, la tour Eiffel

The last summer, us, the Eiffel Tower
I remember comme tu étais belle
I remember how beautiful you were
So beautiful with your sac Chanel
So beautiful with your Chanel handbag

  
Sur le pont de la Seine
On the bridge of the Seine
Let's do it again, again, again, again
Let's do it again, again, again, again
You gave me a rendez-vous
You gave me a rendezvous
What is it, what is it?

What is it, what is it?
  
Je le cherche à toi dans les rues
I am looking for you in the streets
Je ne suis pas venir car tu ne l'es plus
I didn't come because you aren't there anymore
Je le regarde partout, where are you?
I'm looking everywhere, where are you?

My heart is bleeding, oh, I miss you
My heart is bleeding, oh, I miss you
  
L'amour à la française
Love the French way
Let's do it again, again, again, again
Let's do it again, again, again, again
You gave me a rendez-vous

You gave me a rendezvous
  
Et je cours, je cours, je cours
And I run, I run, I run
I've lost l'amour, l'amour, l'amour
I've lost love, love, love
Je suis perdu, here without you

I'm lost, here without you
And I'm crazy, seul à Paris
And I'm crazy, alone in Paris
Je tu le manques, sans toi I can't
I miss you, without you I can't
Et sous la pluie, I feel sorry

And under the rain, I feel sorry
Champs-Élysées, alone la nuit
Champs-Élysées, alone at night
Le Moulin Rouge, I feel guilty
The Moulin Rouge, I feel guilty

  
Et le soleil est plus brûlant que les oiseaux
And the sun is burning stronger than the birds
Et dans le ciel, I miss you so
And in the sky, I miss you so
A souvenir, a rendez-vous
A souvenir, a rendezvous

Des fleurs, des fleurs, des fleurs for you
Flowers, flowers, flowers for you
Je tu le manques, sans toi I can't
I miss you, without you I can't
Et sous la pluie, I feel sorry
And under the rain, I feel sorry
Je suis perdu, here without you

I'm lost, here without you
And I'm crazy, seul à Paris
And I'm crazy, alone in Paris
  
I remember jolie demoiselle
I remember beautiful girl

The last summer, comme tu étais belle
The last summer, how beautiful you were
I remember nous, la Tour Eiffel
I remember us, the Eiffel Tower
So beautiful with your sac Chanel
So beautiful with your Chanel handbag

  
L'amour à la française
Love the French way
C'est que je t'aime, je t'aime, je t'aime, je t'aime
It's that I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you
I give you a rendez-vous
I give you a rendezvous

  
Et je cours, je cours, je cours
And I run, I run, I run
I've lost l'amour, l'amour, l'amour
I've lost love, love, love
Je suis perdu, here without you
I'm lost, here without you
And I'm crazy, seul à Paris

And I'm crazy, alone in Paris
Je tu le manques, sans toi I can't
I miss you, without you I can't
Et sous la pluie, I feel sorry
And under the rain, I feel sorry
Champs-Élysées, alone la nuit

Champs-Élysées, alone at night
Le Moulin Rouge, I feel guilty
The Moulin Rouge, I feel guilty
  
Et le soleil est plus brûlant que les oiseaux
And the sun is burning stronger than the birds

Et dans le ciel, I miss you so
And in the sky, I miss you so
A souvenir, a rendez-vous
A souvenir, a rendezvous
Des fleurs, des fleurs, des fleurs for you
Flowers, flowers, flowers for you
Je tu le manques, sans toi I can't

I miss you, without you I can't
Et sous la pluie, I feel sorry
Under the rain, I feel sorry
Je suis perdu, here without...
I'm lost, here without...
