There's dance music playing. The place is lit slightly by little colored spotlights: red, purple, orange and pink. There's a Monster Bash pinball game in the corner. The inside tables have brown plaid upholstered couches and stools. The tables are strange, round and two-tiered in case you wanted to store something on the shelf under the top while you were here.

The coffee cup and saucer have little pictures of an exotic bird in a flowering tree. The black plastic ashtray has the word "Authentic" written on it, Marlboro style. The sugar cube packet says "Parisucre" on it and features a little drawing of the Tuilleries gardens on it. A friend was here with me earlier and said the eggs and french fries plate he ordered was good, as was the American-style coffee. Then we played Monster Bash and got five games for our two euros, quite a bargain.

I guess this is a radio station playing -- someone just came on between songs and said "Enjoy yourself" in English. Okay.
