Paris is an attractive city year-around.I was visiting for two nights staying at the George V, a stone’s throw from the Champs-Élysées.My long-standing friend Pierre Lamont suggested a meeting at the Fouquet's, the famous upscale brasserie on the corner of the Champs-Élysées and Avenue George V. I confirmed that I would be there at four pm and I started walking from the hotel at 3:45pm as it was a short walk.It was cloudy and there was a bit of a drizzle, but I had a raincoat on and an umbrella. I took my time and did a bit of window shopping.I arrived on time and there was Pierre standing up at a table full of friends I had known for years.What a surprise!
