Remi,

Found your Beast dated 3-4-44 NVM on the way. My family and myself were in Disneyland Paris recently, even found the Metro easy to use getting around your lovely capital, will contact you next time. After Chris' wine comment not certain about passing wine on to him though,

Regards

Stayed off the wine last night but a couple of pints of real ale from my local brewery! I have a house in the Dordogne but rarely stray through Paris-the Periphique is an experience!
