Being an American in Paris is never easy, as Edmont discovered upon moving there. When he adopts a sophisticated Dalmatian named Jarney-Prince, Greg suddenly becomes "French." Life is sweet, especially as the two embark across the country on a Vespa.
Gregory Edmont is just another American sojourning in Paris...until he adopts a sophisticated Dalmation named JP. Suddenly his life is charmed: He's met with smiles every time he adn JP step out, acquainanced become friends, adn the City of Lights becomes home. The good fortune continues as the rest of France beckons, and the duo set off on a mission of love. They leap to action after a call from the eccentric Dalmatian breeder, Madame Clix: JP's services are needed to sire a litter in the south of France. The adventure begins with a near-arrest, as the French authorities question the legality of a two-wheeling Dalmation. They escape, but the roller-coaster of a journey includes a breakdown or two, a coven of witches (who thankfully possess scooter-repairing skills), meals at five-star restaurants (JP is served from a silver platter), a cleaver-bearing butcher, and much more. When they finally arrive at their destination, they discover the power of love...just not quite as anyone expected. "Spotted in France is entertainment at its very best: Amusing and poignant, it examines the role of fate in our lives and offers an intimate glimpse of six regions and a dozen towns adn villages in France--their people, their dogs, their food, and their hearts.
