Montmartre. Where we discover the boy's culture¹ limit.

And yes, it was just as good as the last time

  1. The editor reprimanded me. I think you mean "the culture expressed by Impressionism, Symbolism, Art Nouveau, Neo-Impressionism, Divisionism, Fauvism, Cubism, Art Deco and Abstract art movements that evolved in Paris" (to paraphrase from wikipedia) rather than culture per se².
  2. Actually, they didn't use the phrase per se, but you get the drift.

Oh yes!
