While vacationing in Paris, Tom Jeffries spotted this sign while enroute to the Eiffel Tower yesterday ...



As Tom noted, "Freddie would have loved this" ...

..and on that petit rue de Paris, the decidedly upscale Hotel De La Tremoille.

Just discovered that Monsieur de la Tremouille is a character from Joan of Arc. That appeared in 15 adaptions of the story to film, according to IMDB.

Ah yes! He spoke the memorable line:
"Qui a un match" ?

You are bang on - but Fred's Family were big shots back in the day. My Ancestors are from Paris - had my lineage traced by the Mormons and Fred's Family was associated with mine back many Centuries ago. We worked for Fred's ancestors and in 1973 - I married his Wife's sister. Talk about a coincidence!
Paris is hot as heck - the Louvre was unbearable and we left. I will cheerfully smack the idiot that invented the selfie stick - ruins your visit to any tourist spot.
You think Vancouver is expensive?
Paris is insane - next week - Rome. Take care and stay cool.
