    Some spelling/French mistakes.
    Also, cheese is odd for breakfast. You would have it in the morning in a "collation" mid-time between breakfast and lunch for people who get up very early and/or have a very demanding job.
    I was also disappointed to have things from the "marché" spoken with their English names.

    The department store "Au Joli Temps" is in fact "Le Printemps". They had to change that because of the brand name and also because they do criticize a little, don't they?

    Regarding coffee, I'm a little surprised of the process they showed, because instant coffee did not exist at the time and something does not feel right.

    The "café au lait" scene was a tad misleading in what café au lait is, but no big deal for something so trivial.

    I was happy to see some "Baguettes" for bread, they might even be "Pains" which are the larger/heavier version of baguettes for people needing to eat more (and generally less expensive for the same mass). Why? because "Petits Pains" are a lot more expensive and do not fit with the tight budget.
    I liked the scene where Yune refuses to enter the "Papeterie" when she realizes that a single sheet of paper is more expensive than the piece of meat they wanted to buy and had to cut in half for budget reasons.
    Oh, and I hope they do not use "bacon" for "Pot au feu" because you'd find bacon in "Potée"


    Pot au feu is with beef




    Potée with pork



    Now I need to appreciate the show... and I admit I'm more into details and the image of Paris reflected, than into the characters and the story.

    All the things I really like to do are either illegal, immoral, or fattening. And then: Golf.
