If so, where did you go and what did you have? Anything nice?

Pity the Parisians didn't throw a revolution for you. They've done that a few times for me, including the gr?ve g?n?rale {general strike} in '95 and the GJs protests. For the latter, in one of the tiny side streets, the CRS had this big truck that had huge metal barriers connected to hydraulic arms at the back which allowed it to barricade the entire street entrance.

My mate and I thought it rather unsporting for the authorities to make barricades when that should be the sole preserve of the revolutionaries. But it was a mental vehicle. {I lived in a CRS bus for a while when I was stuck in the southern suburbs during the '95 general strike. Quite a few French travellers bought 2nd hand CRS buses in the same way that we had normal 30' coaches - my first living vehicle was a Ford Viceroy bus with a turbo engine. So you could do 70mph and if the burner was still going, the smoke would come out the top like a choo-choo train.}

But what did you eat and did you do anything interesting while you were there?
