There's a little area of subburban Montreal, Canada here called "Vendome", and they even named a Metro Station the same after that famous building in Paris as well, but sadly I know nothing about it's background.

I just dug up some info on it, check it out...The Place Vendome parking garage in the center of Paris was ablaze earlier Thursday, sending a large plume of black smoke over the city’s skyline.

The fire reportedly broke out in a car parked on the second floor of the garage, according to gtspirit.com. There were no reports of injuries, although one of 90 firemen at the scene was said to have suffered smoke inhalation, The Australian reported.
Place Vendome, in the city's First Arrondissement, is known for its upscale shopping and the posh Ritz hotel. Employees in the immediate area of the fire were reportedly evacuated.
The garage is also known for housing many expensive vehicles, and gtspirit.com speculated the blaze could end up causing damage in excess of $6.6 million.

so Frantz, do you have to wake up early and milk a cow, run to the local dairy store or does a guy in a white truck with a bell deliver your milk each morning?
