I remember we used to go to this bar that was on the corner of where are hotels were (right across from the Montmartre subway station). THe old guy there was hilarious. I tried to order some french fries in french, but MANGLED "patates frites." I said pa-ta-tehs free-tehs and he died laughing (then told me how to correctly say it). I for the life of me cannot read french out loud. Anyway he was a super cool guy who got me drunk more than once. He always gave me way too much vodka, and when I asked for less, he gave me even more and giggled about it.

(by the way, it's just "frites".)
