Once you learn, specially at a young age as you have, it will come back with a bit of practice : ) I hope you go there one day, soon! The country side is enchanting; specially during spring, and fall..

I've only been to France once, in January 2002, absolutely freezing, 3 days in Paris, 5 days staying with friends near Cannes -- and despite the cold weather, fell so in love with the place that I immediately wanted someone to just pack up my apartment & mail it to me in France. alas, my academic specialization is US environmental history and policy, which limits the number of overseas openings to some degree... but maybe someday.
I got a little carried away.
