After finding myself working in Lille at a conference, we made arrangements to tag on a nice little trip to Paris with two good friends, Bernadette and Pete.
Bernadette, being French, was able to ensure that we went much deeper into the Parisian experience with genuine French specialities on an evening and exotic experiences during the day, such as the cigarette smoking crooner in the Algerian "restaurant", not to mention the evacuation of the park due to a bomb scare!
