It began with Benjamin Franklin, who arrived in France in 1776 as the representative of the young republic, who later embraced Voltaire, who still later proposed marriage to the charming widow, Madame Helvetius, and was as charmingly refused. Ever since, American innocents abroad have been paying court in a clumsy mixture of French, English and chewing gum.
