You're right - I ha...That is indeed brilliant!<br /><br />You're right - I had no idea. Very clever, though - a very inside joke. :-)<br /><br />I'm going to find that video and I'll post it.<br /><br />Thank you so much.<br /><br />VictoriaVictoria FERAUGEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16319699673885400472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2424131704277823220.post-36003586611351769472012-02-01T15:06:27.119+01:002012-02-01T15:06:27.119+01:00I love the Canal St-Martin!

Thanks for the nice pics.<br /><br />Here's something for you; I'm quite sure that you missed out on it because you're a foreigner...<br /><br />Why do you think what you call "the Mayor's website" (I didn't follow the link, just read the text you copied) used quotes around the word <i>atmosphère</i>? You wouldn't need them normally for such a word in this context, there's nothing special about the way it is employed, except... that most French people with some knowledge of their classics of the French Cinéma know that next to the Canal St-Martin, there is this small hotel called Hôtel du Nord, which gave its name to a 1938 film featuring French cinema legend Arletty, and thus associated with one of the best-known French cinema lines ever (for French people that is), which goes simply as such:<br /><br /><i>« Atmosphère, atmosphère, est-ce que j’ai une gueule d’atmosphère ? ».</i><br /><br />I would trust you for finding a link to a video of this, it shouldn't be too much hard work. I would do it but at the office I don't have access to video platforms.<br /><br />I would bet that this is the reason they used quotes here. It's not simply by chance or some other random reason. So I think that's quite brilliant indeed!Berliniquaishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12661821223010607978noreply@blogger.com
