The Beckham boys will have to swap burgers and chips for pain au chocolats and escargots as the family prepare to move to Paris.
David and Victoria Beckham are hoping to relocate to the French capital; with the football ace signing to a new team and the former Spice Girl excelling in the world of haute couture.
With his five-year LA Galaxy contract due to end on December 31, David, 36, is reportedly close to signing a deal with Qatari-owned Paris St Germain, with negotiations already well under way.

David tasted victory yesterday with his final game for the club, which saw the team triumph over Houston Dynamo in the Major League Soccer (MLS) cup match.
His wife tweeted her congratulations this morning, telling her two million followers: 'Congratulations @LAGalaxy!!!! MLS Champions!!!!! We are so proud!!!! what an amazing night x VB'
An extension to his U.S. deal was discussed, but it would have been accompanied by a drop in salary.

Instead, Victoria will juggle motherhood and house-hunting as she visits the city over the next few weeks to look at potential homes to rent in the luxurious area known as the 6th Arrondissement.
She will also seek out English-speaking schools for sons Brooklyn, 12, Romeo, nine, and six-year-old Cruz in preparation for a January move - all of whom were in attendance at yesterday's match.
David is determined to play at the Olympics next summer so is keen to sign for a top European club, further tempted by the reported multi-million pound contract offer from PSG.

Since bidding farewell to her popstar days, the mother-of-four has carved out a career for herself as a style icon, and looks set to elevate her fashion status to new heights in Paris.
She began with a limited-edition fashion line in 2004 for Rock & Republic called VB Rocks, consisting mainly of jeans, before moving onto sunglasses in 2006.
The 37-year-old has since gone on to design a range of flattering gowns with a host of celebrity fans including Heidi Klum, Eva Longoria, Drew Barrymore and even Carol Vorderman.

A source close to the family told the Sunday Mirror: 'David may be coming towards the end of his career but he is still so dedicated to the game and he’s desperate to go out on a high.
'PSG could provide him with the perfect opportunity to do that. It will also keep him in the mind of the Olympic Team GB football selectors. Being selected is a major priority for him.'
However an insider also revealed the family intend to return to the States long term after an 18-month period in Paris.
A spokesman for the couple said no decisions have been made yet.
