  • Nothing beats a summer abroad, but when traveling far from home, it's always nice to bring along an old friend from the neighborhood.

  • Cobblestones and Café de Flore. Serena's locked down the left bank and become a muse to us all.

  • Meanwhile, Blair rules the right bank, storming the shops and consuming the classics, and sampling sugary snacks like a modern Marie Antoinette.

  • But we hear Serena's stories sizzle, while Blair's are more fizzle.

  • She shopped at Saint Laurent and dined at Druon, but the only beau Bea had this summer is on her headband.

  • Our cute waiter gave me his number.

  • Blair, what are you doing? We said we went and check Gossip Girl all summer.

  • Summer's almost over.

  • So, what does it say about Chuck?

  • I couldn't be less interested.

  • No new posts. He's been MIA since he left town this spring.

  • And what does it say about us?

  • Ooh la la, Paris is burning and Serena and Blair lit the match.

  • Of course your flame is hotter than mine.

  • Everyone knows that the only guy who's been in my pants all summer is the tailor at Pierre Balmain.

  • And whose fault is that?

  • Just as many guys have flirted with you, I just happen to have a thing for French waiters.

  • You like Marnie?

  • I love her.

  • My name is Blair.

  • Louis. Nice to meet you.

  • Actually, it's not the first time I've seen you here.

  • And you're so beautiful that...

  • I've never dared to approach you.

  • I like impressionists.

  • It was a good sign, wasn't it?

  • You already know that I'm romantic.

  • An American who loves money?

  • It's too good to be true.

  • How did you know I was American?

  • And don't tell me it's because my accent isn't as good as I think.

  • Your accent is divine.

  • But your watch is set to Eastern Standard Time.

  • New York?

  • Born and bred.

  • I've never been. But I'd love to hear all about it.

  • Over dinner tonight?

  • It would be my pleasure.

  • Great. Give me your information and I'll pick you up at nine.

  • Excusez-moi, il faut y aller. La voiture est arrivée.

  • Monsieur Grimaldi vous attend à l'ambassade.

  • J'arrive.

  • The Royal Family of Monaco, as in Grace, American Princess Kelly.

  • Stop whatever you're doing. We need to shop.

  • Only for you, B.

  • Spotted. B and S. Chic and cheerful.

  • Up on Boulevard Haussmann.

  • They dallied at department stores and stayed a while at Tally Vile.

  • Down on Rue Saint-Honoré, they courted couture at Palais Royale.

  • And found the perfect outfits to bash the competition.

  • Then they headed to the Golden Triangle, where Montaigne meets Georges V.

  • And luxury goods are the opiate of choice.

  • Well, the Grimaldis aren't a very large family.

  • He's probably a first cousin at least, but just to be sure.

  • B, what are you doing? Cinderella did not Google Prince Charming.

  • A mystery man shows up at your painting just like you wanted.

  • You cannot make this about some socialism.

  • You're right. And so what if my very godmother is my credit card? This is fate.

  • Wait, before I lose you to another shoe coma, there's something I want to talk to you about.

  • That package I got yesterday.

  • S, I want to hear all about how Brown offers a major in raw foods, but it's Louis.

  • We're going to Blaccarat. I have just the thing to wear.

  • And you have to pick up a little something too.

  • His friend Jean-Michel showed up unexpectedly in town and our date is now a double.

  • I don't think that's a good idea. This is your princess moment.

  • Please, if you don't come, he's going to cancel.

  • And those brown boots would look amazing on you.

  • Brown, what did you want to tell me about college?

  • It can wait. Let's go buy boots.

  • You
