...drunk Brazilians, I doddered down to the lobby for a complimentary breakfast and a second rude awakening. My illusions of Paris were quickly shattered during that meal: not only by the stale croissant, but by the horrors of MTV France.I had arrived in the patrie of Edith Piaf, Serge Gainsbourg, and Daft Punk—and in the summer of Justice, no less, the Parisian duo whose “D.A.N.C.E.” was omnipresent in America at the time of my departure.

...aesthetic suited Charlotte Gainsbourg's parents, icons Serge Gainsbourg and Jane Birkin, in the late '70s when Bonpoint was still a mom-and-pop operation off the Boulevard St. Germain, with founder Cohen in the studio and her husband Bernard keeping the books.

...sets are made of cardboard boxes cunningly repurposed - where he does cooking spots in which he makes metaphorical stews out of random thoughts and memories to demonstrate how dreams are made. When he's up and about he's lusting impotently after the girl down the hall (Charlotte Gainsbourg), who, adorably enough, has virtually the same name, Stephanie.
