A certain 'je ne sais quoi'..

I was just wondering if there was any particular reason why you have numerous French-inspired song titles throughout your albums, ex. Montaigne, Rousseau, Lyon, Versailles, etc. Is this just a coincidence? Is there 'rhyme to your reason'? Or am I simply looking too far into this?
Thanks, K
P.S. Can't wait to see you in Vancouver in February... and with MC Chris too!!! That show's gonna be rad! (I'm flying in from Ontario just to see you guys!)
