Re: Tabacco
Paris? Like London, Paris is unto itself. Everywhere else in France, the folk are extremely warm and polite. I've only been back since last Thursday evening and my lips are sore from kissing all the locals on the cheeks.

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?

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

Re: Tabacco
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.
