For a taste of the 21st century, check out the new restaurants on the Grand Canal's south bank. Ancora is the latest to cause a stir with its all-white décor, nightly jazz sessions and Mediterranean-with-a-twist menu - try the raw tuna and avocado salad with kabayaki sauce, or the bass with olive oil and white beans...

...famous 35-hour work week, anecdotal evidence suggests most companies are sticking with it. French corporations and smaller firms furiously denounced the Socialist's 1998 work-week reduction, and last year's law change allows employers to force staff to work longer hours. But most bosses appear to have stuck with the shorter week, to avoid disputes with leisure-loving employees, and, it seems, as a useful tool in dealing with the growing economic downturn...
