Back in the hotel...

When French say there will be champagne in the drink, they mean it.
In mine, they poured Veuve Clicquot - that is something I never see in America (where Champagne means anything wine-like that sparkles).
At 15 euros a serving, it was the most delicious cocktail that tasted like pear soap. It was really good.
Tyson had a martini, for the same price.
