ETA: Do I have a vague recollection that you studied in Reims?

You are correct. I was in Reims. I do not have many happy memories of the place. Nasty people.

I still bear the scars of getting beaten up by three blokes just because I was English.

The Bretons are a different matter altogether. Nicest people I've ever met.

Did you know that most French Canadians in my neck of the woods trace back to Normandy?

Souvy, were you in Croix Rouge by any chance? Nice neighbourhood...not!

Yes, I did know. I used to stop in Reims for lunch in the years I was living in Germany and vacationing here. That and visits to the Cathedral is the sum of my knowledge of the place.
