And that’s all for now. Have a great weekend and maybe see some of you in Paris next week!

P.S. for those of you sending in news and features, AL will be….you guessed it….in France for most of next week and hence will be fairly unkeyboarded from Tuesday to Friday.

And it’s going to be HOT….! Luckily, the Pullman Hotel has air-conditioning.
