...bodyguards. When he leaves his office on Paris' Rue Oudinot, his movements are signaled ahead by a succession of handclaps; at the ministry entrance and on surrounding street corners, men armed with submachine guns spring to the alert.

Seasonal foods and delicacies from all over the world are rushed to the restaurant by plane; its $100,000 wine cellar holds 15,000 bottles. If a visitor can not wait for the fun to begin, he can pluck a free sausage off a small tree as he takes his seat...
