Note that Alice is consistantly thwarted in her attempts to actually drink tea by the random and illogical rules set down by the Mad Hatter.
The only difference between the Tea Party and actually living in France is that Alice didn't need to fill out any forms in triplicate before sitting down, and the Tea Party isn't open for business only on alternate Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 10 to 12.
"Whereas the tourist generally hurries back at the end of a few weeks or months, the traveler, belonging no
more to one place than the next, moves slowly, over a
period of years, from one part of the earth to another.
Indeed, he would have found it difficult to tell, among
the many places he had lived, precisely where it was he felt the most at home."
