As for the boutiques, I am neither svelte nor chic enough for clothes shopping, except in the places that cater to "tailles ronds" (which, IMO, is slightly less insulting-sounding a phrase than "grosse grössen"). Besides, why spend my days despairing in a fitting room, when I can walk around admiring Paris instead?
I'll be in Paris next weekend.

Americans beware, the french Flic did arrest PremEx and Freddie for being bad Americans when we where there last time.

The weekend was so successful that I am actually contemplating my first-ever trip report (suitably expurgated, naturally).
I liked the hotel, I loved loved loved all the meals, not just because of the food but also because they were cheap cheap cheap (most expensive was 30€ per person), and I even had time yesterday morning on my way to the RER to stop at the patisserie, the boulangerie, and the traiteur so that I could take some Paris home with me.
Very little shopping but much walking and much more eating. Entirely satisfactory despite the weather.
Rudi, I am quite surprised by your photo, as I know from experience that Freddie is quite well behaved in public.
