Question asked when shopping today in Paris. Answered “yes” and item was nicely wrapped on its own.
“It’s for opening?”
It took me 43 years to get to Paris. I wish someone had thought to suggest I come here earlier.

I had the best chocolate I have ever eaten and visited an amazing chocolate shop on Isle St Louis called Cacao et Chocolate near the Pont-Marie Metro. Go! They seem to have three branches in Paris

Hi Peter, I hope you had fun in Paris, it’s hard not to. If I could be so bold, I humbly submit that you didn’t quite catch the French phrase in your shopping interaction. The shop person more likely said “C’est pour offrir?” (ie, “It’s for giving,” or “It’s a gift?”). Whence the wrapping job. You were close though, and not bad for someone who has 43 years of French to catch up on.
Thanks for clearing that up, Scott. I do like the idea of “It’s for opening?” though. sigh.
I am
