In France, Turks Like Italian

Janet's work has been amply assisted by staff of the Turkish Capital Markets Board. They are in town for meetings this week, and we took them out to an Italian restaurant (pardon me, Sicilian), called Convivium. In fact it was almost painfully Italian: all the waiters and bus-boys ostentatiously used Italian phrases and mannerisms, and I'm not sure the maitre d' even spoke French. But also characteristically, the food was excellent and the service attentive without hovering.
