French apartments invariably have parquet floors (like mine) and I find them very hard to keep dust free for more than about 5 mins. Does anyone have a tip for me or a product suggestion?

We are thinking of renting a small flat in central Paris for my husband's more and more frequent business trips. Can anyone tell me how much we should be looking at spending?

I have been roped into cooking Christmas dinner for my French parents in law and the dad in particular is very fussy and only likes "French" food. He has already warned me he won't eat turkey but I wanted to give them a taste of the traditional Englsih Christmas dinner. I find it so delicious! What can I do?

Yesterday I found a rat in a bin next to my house. Should I be very alarmed by this? Does this mean the area is infested or could it be a lone rat? To tell the truth I am a little concerned.

My parents are finally visiting for the holidays and I am inspired to find a live tree. Do "cut-your-own" tree farms exist within driving distance to Paris? If not, any ideas on the best place to find a live tree?Thanks.
