Unknown to him, his next destination was at the very next table beside him.įrancis, who was also exploring the French capital, happened to be seated at the table next to Christian’s. He was also studying a subway map, wondering which destination to go next in the city. Christian had missed his flight, because he had gone to the wrong airport and now he sat inside the cafe, nursing a glass of red wine while reading a book. And and Christian’s love story began near Jardin de Tuileries in the City of Lights.
