The Paris Water Wars - Well what water DO you drink, then?
People do seem to drink more water here - it is almost inconceivable to eat a meal without water on the table.
Pat and the kids recently went to a science exhibition (Cap Science) on the Quays with a friend and her kids. The theme was water (L'eau dans ta bouche), and at the end of the displays there was an opportunity to do a blind tasting of some water - tap water and a premier brand of bottled water.
All preferred the tap water.

I had heard or read many moons ago that the Paris authorities were distributing carafes labelled Eau de Paris for putting tap water on the table.
