...last thing it wants is austerity. The evidence of that attitude is almost everywhere. The France of sunny sidewalk cafés and smoky boîtes is now, also, the France of 536 Wimpy hamburger mills, dizzy discothéques and monumental traffic jams. Vacationers on the Côte d'Azur looking for bargain accommodations now stop at modern motels as well as at the traditional spartan pensions...
Benefit Appearance.Pompidoumean-while has begun acting like a campaigner. He and his ash-blonde wife Claude no longer vacation with the Côte d'Azur dolce vita set.

Even a minute role played by a little boy is observed with special insight. When Moreau puts on glasses and tries to con the boy into accepting her as his teacher, he reacts with an air of whimsical gamesmanship...
