12:00 – A siren just went off and scared the hell out of me. My thought was ‘air raid’ then to wonder if there was a fire or some other need for an evacuation but no one around me seemed to be bothered. Fortunately for me a gentleman walking by explained to his young son ‘ce la midi’. Many cities in old times had the custom of setting a cannon off at exactly noon so the locals could set their watches and clocks. I guess some habits die hard.
