...they come to take advantage of the culture and they give nothing in return. I know what they’re about!” Such was the oration of a drunk who, to judge from the ensuing altercation with a waiter, had made similar truths known within the Parisian establishment he’d just deserted...
...viewer, because there’s no way that this movie is going to work. While the film has its merits, it falls flat on most fronts. In addition to having fairly poor production value—the bulk of the “stunning” Parisian backdrops are clearly matte paintings—the movie’s three primary characters never achieve humanity; they start out as and remain types.

He hit the jackpot--and attracted the attention of the century's new tycoons. His three grandsons later joined the business, opening more shops in Paris, London and New York City.

And they're being welcomed by an Israeli government facing demographic challenges from the region's Palestinians...
...Paris to Berlin. "It's a French icon like the beret or the baguette," he says. Dargnies offers three options: the Essential Tour, a review of the city's must-see monuments (1 hr. 30 min., $90); the three-hour Magic Tour ($155), which covers a wider selection of Parisian attractions; and the Unique Tour, an ? la carte option allowing daylong excursions in and around Paris ($178 for the first three hours and $47 for every additional hour). Each car comes with a chauffeur and accommodates three tightly packed passengers. www.4roues-sous-1parapluie.com
