I would have thought that it is more of a cross-cultural ghetto. If it
is situated like Disneyland at Annaheim it should be possible for the
locals to ignore it except for the benefits of the cash that it brings in.

The greater danger is the number of American films in the cinemas and
anything that insinuates itself into the fabric of French life.

I am still trying to work out the true meaning of the Snoopy exhibition.
