The Taxi Driver

My French pronunciation is pretty good - in fact, sometimes, superb. But this cab driver was incredible - I wonder if he was pulling my leg?

I live on rue Blomet. I told him I wanted to go to the Franprix market at the corner of rue Borromée and Rue de Vaugirard. He said there is no rue Borromée, it's rue Blomet. I said no, there is a rue Borromée that connects rue Blomet with Rue de Vaugirard; it is only a short street between the two. Then he said, oh you mean rue Cambronne? I said no rue de Vaugirard. He said non, il n'y a pas un rue Borromée. So I got out my Plan de Paris to show him. So he drove down rue Blomet, and then I said ok next left is rue Borromée, and sure enough there was the infamous name he was nay saying, but it was a one way street the wrong way. He said, look there is the Franprix down there at the end. I said yes, that's where I want to go, to the intersection of rue Borromée and rue de Vaugirard. He said, you want me to go around the block? I said yes, I cannot walk another step. He said, are you sure? I said YES. Mon Dieu.
