To be specific it was a seasonal special Amour de Deutz Blanc de Blancs 2009 instead of the usual Krug they serve in F. I personally prefer the Krug, feeling it being more masculine and solid in flavor, but I guess they both did their jobs well enough (the picture, hehe).

Next time we plan to visit in spring instead of summer. I think Paris would be so much nicer under a more humane weather.

Great TR so far
As a responsible partner in crime I'm teaching the S.O. about miles and FF statuses, upgrades and higher cabin classes so that he will head down the path of no return like me. Right now he has a few credit cards churning some miles. We'll get there eventually.

I would not presume I'm qualified to tell you how Paris changed before and after the migrant crisis as we only spent a few days there. However, I'd like to think it is not a problem unique for Paris. Globalization is inevitable as people move around to find employment and better living, and as the social fabric of any large city is changing day by day our definition of native may vary by person.
I would say just go visit to get a feel for the city with an open mind. It is, after all, a moveable feast according to Hemingway.
