Patrice and Sylvie 

I got paid to tutor Patrice today!!  He and I got together at the famous (& amazing) Café de la Paix and did a mock interview.  He has an important job interview (in English) on Monday morning.  :)  We didn't eat here, but we had champagne.  Sylvie brought us goodies to nosh on....she spoke very little English, and was so nice to me, and so complimentary.  (She told Patrice that I am beautiful.)  She took us into the Napoleon III room in the hotel, which was all set up for Chanel for Fashion Week.  So cool.
