A last minute meeting, as I love them. A virtual friend turning to a true friend, now, and an old real friend. I will not tell you who was there, I will let you guess with the watches I took in picture. 

So, first of all, the place. Not far from where I live... L'Ile St Louis. 

Poor Notre Dame... 



Most probably my favorite place in Paris. And not just because I live near there. 



The city hall of Paris, the big building in the background. 



And our Brasserie! 



Now the watches will help you to guess who was there: 

Ok, that one is easy: 



This one, now? 







And well, I think that this one is a star, as well as its owner. 



As for the plates, Cassoulet, veal liver, millefeuilles and tarte tatin. A bottle of good french red wine. Et voilà! 

Best,

Nicolas

Well, the last one I’ve seen in the metal myself so I think that’s easy. Unless of course you were hanging out with some EPL players! [nt]

I bet on Mike H and Claudio Ranieri (Leicester's former coach, now unlucky enough to be Sampdoria's coach..:-)) So it means that Keks' 5960 thread should be updated with Ranieri's watch?:-) [nt]

It's really a tough one...perhaps the man taking his wedding pictures in front of the brasserie? :-)) [nt]
