According to the bigots here the French aren't worth reporting on!

That just shows a lack of understanding.

German cars; French wine, women and surrender batallions.

Just came back from 9 days in Paris. Have a new appreciation
of the place. Classy all round, esp. for food!!!

Anyways, I don't think their soldiers are a problem, it's
their politicians. The soldiers wandering around the Metro
and the tourist attractions are big enough to not want to
mess with. Plus they've all got them metallic grey things
with barrels slung over their shoulders.

One thing we did see that was cool was three Police Officers
skating down the street on Rollerskates. Strange. Bit
like a crocodile - probably get you in a straight line but
I think they'd be stuffed if you zigged and then zagged.

A coke and a cup of coffee cost me about $10 at a little cafe by Sacre Coeur. Luckily we stayed in a
campground about 10km out of town and could fix our own. Evey morning a nice lady showed up in her
little Peugeot truck with fresh bread and croissants. Still warm and about 1/5th the price of the
Paris stuff. And, the campground charged about $12/night!
