People have been speculating why Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie and their adoptive kids have been in France. It seems obvious that Jolie plans to stay there until, at least, she gives birth. But, WHY?!

Well, apparently, she plans to give birth in France as a tribute to her dying mother. Terminally-ill Marcheline Betrand, mother of Jolie, was born in France and suggested to her daughter that she maintain a "circle of life" by giving birth there.

Sweet yet sad.
