He's 17 - we just spent a day in Paris. Did the usual tourist sights. But there was one thing he saw that fascinated him and he couldn't stop talking about it.

Can you guess what it was?

Our interactions were very friendly - especially when our ticket wouldn't work in the station exit gate Grin

That they take a long time to eat and actually stop to interact during a meal. No phones to distract.
