Never Dream of Dying has lots of action in Paris.Sounds exciting. Never got to see much happening in Paris other than little bits of FAVTAK and TB. Maybe there will be some action?

Didn't Bond particularly not like Paris.
Where was that mentioned, Jeff007?

I think it's mentioned in "A View to a Kill". If I remember right, Bond doesn't like Paris or French girls.

Hmm--you're probably right if two of you seem to know of it. I'll definitely have to check!

He dislikes Paris, this is true, but it's more because of the people I think. He doesn't care for them at all and feels that Paris kind of whored itself out to outsiders for a reason I can't recall. So when he goes to Paris he sticks to the same routine probably to limit his contact with "them". French women.. I don't know. I think he generalizes that they only see dollar signs which is why he fantasizes about picking one up, changing her and calling her Solange. I don't really remember, but just because DMC starts there doesn't mean he likes it and/or his feelings may have changed.

And for those of you out there who are Gardner bashers, Paris plays a significant part in both NO DEALS, MR BOND and DEATH IS FOREVER.
In both of which, and Benson's book, if I recaall correctly, it is noted that Bond particularly likes Paris. Not the same opinion as that held by Fleming's Bond.
Over to you for continuity, Mr Faulks.

Of course.
And clearly Bond's attitude disproves Fleming's assertion that Bond dislikes being in Paris.
After all, as pointed out on this thread, Bond did lose his virginity in Paris.
I thank you.

It'll be interesting to see if Faulks rehabilitates Paris in Bond's eyes.
