Paris chic:
The idea of the parisienne chic is something of a cliché, but when I
first visited Paris it appeared to me that it had some basis in fact:
the city seemed to have more than its fair share of well-groomed,
well-dressed women. It no longer appears so.

You should visit Milan, maybe Milan is the new Paris.

Perhaps if I wanted to seek out such women. But I prefer informality.

And then home to contemplate our next trip (Madrid).

It'll be interesting to see what you make of Madrid, on four business trips
there I saw no reason to go back as a tourist.

We don't go until late October; I hope that you can bear the wait.

(But there was a very good Mexican restaurant just off the main square).

You mean food with loads of chillis, burn-your-mouth-off stuff? Nah.
I'll settle for Spanish.
