French or English?
Just found this wonderful example of franglais about a Paris hotel:
Relooké en 2009 par la styliste Marina Bessé, l’hôtel Edouard VII est élégant. Le bar rond apporte une touche très cosy.
Le charmant Ludovic et toute l’équipe servent une clientèle trendy. Les adeptes des cocktails ont suivi ici l’ancienne chef barmaid Sandrine Houdré-Grégoire, devenue responsable food & beverage de l’hôtel. le bar manager a élaboré la carte des cocktails. On peut également apprécier un snacking de luxe.
