"In Paris, when I strolled down the Rue de la Roquette, everybody I passed would have time to appraise me with a long, sometimes very challenging, often sexually charged, stare. The sexuality of the Parisian street is concentrated entirely in the gaze...I soon came to understand Edith Cresson's hitherto hateful observation about British men. When the former French president visited Britain, she thought all men here must be gay because none of them looked at her."
