Le Grand Véfour

In the story · Dinner with Inez's parents; Paul appears

Gil and Inez have an awkward meal with her conservative parents in this historic restaurant under the arcades of the Palais-Royal, and run into Paul, Inez's pedantic old friend, and his wife Carol. The gilded 18th-century dining room appears as it is.
