"Near the Parc des Buttes-Chaumont" may help to explain it: when the Pope and I visited Paris on the same week-end in May of 1979(?), our group got non-existent service from a restaurant at the foot of the Butte: all the staff, it seems, had gone up the hill to mass with the Pope at Sacré-Coeur! That and other disasters lead to the end of a very warm relationship...
