Is it Needhum as pronounced, or Need ham?

Need'm will suffice - I think.

Cic is correct.

Yeah, it's Need'm and a dry town on top of it Rolling Eyes

Needless to say, I haven't visited Needham

After our trip to Europe, Dys and I want to go to OZ and harrass dlowan, Margo and msolga. Sometime next year.

Francis, I think you'll be surprised that Dys (Bob) is a wonderful combination of very nice and a rather strange. His sense of humor is one of the things that first attracted me to him, as well as his philosophy.

I love your very Frenchness and smile at the comparison with Dys and his very Dysness. He somtimes serenades me with that old country western song,

Drip Kick Me Jesus, Through the Goal Posts of Life

. Ah, romance...

In addition to being drop kicked, I also love Yves Montand and Gerard Depardieu and Simone Signoret.

I'm a Depardieu fan too, Diane, understand liking Signoret, like Montand, ooooh, in Z, and, well, don't get me started.
I think honing in on the Aussies is an excellent idea. They have felt forlorn yet energized by their island in the world thing, and need repeated visits to set them right, whatever right turns out to be.

Well, there you are, Francis! Fouquet's...ah, very nice! Remind me, please...the name of the avenue? (Checking my memory. I was there in 2002.)

After a month passed out in the gutter, I've freshened up now and put on my best Chanel scarf. I've had quite enough of sitting outside for the time being...I believe I'll sit over here at this table with Osso and CJ if there's room for another person?

What shall we order? No, please, no more wine just yet....

Well, Eva, this avenue, which leads to Arc of Triumph, is named : Champs Elysées.
<Elysian Fields, in Greek mythology, the abode of the blessed>

I'm all confused - from the photo by CI, it looks like just outside the buildings is a wide sidewalk, and then an allee' of trees (double rows) with (guessing) masses of tables and chairs between the tree rows (or is that another traffic lane?), and eventually the road and several traffic lanes.

So... are there tables on that wide sidewalk by the buildings?
And if there are, wouldn't people who actually wanted to meet and talk want to be towards the trees?

This is hard to talk about without a pointer...

I think this picture explains. Double row of trees on the sidewalk, tables and chairs between the trees and in front of the buildings.

Francis, everything looks so old there, I bet Paris is a good place to find antiques.

AHA! I thought so! Then it must have been Fouquet's where we stopped for a quick lunch one day. I remembered the red awnings and the initial "F" but didn't remember the whole name. I think I stood on the same median to take my picture of the Arc, too. Didn't bother going up to the top of it...after having enjoyed the view from the Eiffel Tower, I wasn't interested. Will have to go see if I can find my picture of the Arc so we can compare...

And from the Fouquet's, at the corner of Champs and Av. George V, you can see this :

WOW...when did that go up, Francis?! It must have caused quite a sensation!

Here's a link to my Arc photo (and other Paris photos) at Raven's Realm. I can't figure out how to upload it to A2K from there since it doesn't have a "jpg" or other appropriate file extension on that site. Just click on "Next" until you come to the Arc shot.

Eva, the picture is from french luxury brand : Vuitton. It's there for at least a year and people dont stop taking pictures!

I don't like the Louis Vuitton Advertisement.
The house behind it has so much more to offer - from an
architectural point of view.

And I actually could use a glass of redwine <darn meetings, sigh>
