SYNOPSIS: Conversation and sounds from the Esplanade of the La Defense, Paris’ Central Business District.

Oh and a humbling real-life experience of the Entente Cordiale between the UK and France.

SYNOPSIS: Join Bruno and I on an evening out to the 5e Grand Prix de la Beauté organised by Maximal magazine! Recorded after a few glasses of champagne….! Hear about the sauve and good-looking host Nikos, our encounter with the wife of a former British Ambassador to France and how we ended up at Hugh Hefner’s 80th birthday party at the Playboy Mansion on the Champs Elysées. Crazy!

Oh and BTW: 21 June = 1st day of summer or the summer solstice and not mid-summer’s day! Duh!
