The plane landed in Paris, and after some travel, Arabella Vanderbilt finally arrived at Fontainebleau, found the hotel she had booked in advance, took a quick bath, and then lay on the bed, too lazy to move anymore.
Although the sun was shining brightly outside, it was just the beginning of the day for the French, a time when they start to get busy.
In order to overcome jet lag, she didn't allow herself to sleep too long. By noon, she got up, went downstairs, and looked for a restaurant to have lunch.
She found a nearby restaurant that looked quite good, chose a seat by the window, and ordered food effortlessly in fluent French while she waited.
The restaurants in France are usually decorated lavishly, with fine silver cutlery, crystal glasses, and the walls adorned with paintings of various moods, while the outdoor galleries are arranged with beautiful vines.
This very much fits the unique romantic and elegant style of the French.
