This is something she believes you’ll probably manage to avoid if you’re on a short trip to Paris, and that’s fortunate for you. When it comes to dealing with any kind of paperwork or administrative process, there is perhaps nothing more irritating, frustrating, and time-consuming than the bureaucratic red tape “à la Parisienne.”
