I haven't been to France yet and now I feel the pull of their wonderful fonts.

I do love typography sites, including John Boardley's obviously-named "I Love Typography". And for anyone like me who looks for fonts to use and has no budget to acquire them, FontSquirrel is my goto10. It's where you can find the Impact replacement: League Gothic, a bunch of better Comic San replacements, and the 'just now becoming ubiquitous enough to get annoying' Lobster.
