Episode was OK. I enjoyed the various France gags for the most part but the plot - its resolution in particular - was a little stupid. Very short still. Not a fan of that. Also, act 3 was under 2 minutes, which has to be among the shortest (non-vestigial-act-4) acts ever.
DYN:
...another opening sequence wrinkle now (Lenny says "uh oh" as he falls)?? ...apparently no "Snakes on a Plane" reference when Lisa discovers it?

Slight update in Sam Simon EP saga for completion
VABF08 repeated on 5/8 and, like its premiere, listed Sam.
VABF03 aired for the third time on 5/1 and, like its second airing, also listed
Sam (the premiere did not).
Fun fact I forgot to mention two weeks ago
VABF12 (Fland Canyon) premiered on 4/24/16. There are almost 600 episodes now, and apart from the summer and some holiday seasons, there are still a few days on the calendar that have never seen a Simpsons episode premiere; now 4/24 finally has!
