Oh, there's nice beer, good restaurants (even if I did break a tooth on the
moules), frites with mayonnaise.

It's certainly not the nastiest place I ever worked. That's reserved for
Aulnay-sous-Bois, north of Paris, with the only hotel (a Novotel)
jammed between
the cement works and the Citroen factory. I last saw it mentioned on the news
last year as its residents attempted to burn it to the ground; a commendable
wish, I must say.

If you are reduced to staying in a Novotel, then that says it all.
