Finally, the meeting of Lebanese factions in La Celle Saint Cloud (pronounced klu) makes sense..
Quiz: In which of the Following places will the Lebanese parties negotiate?
1- State Lunatic Hospial, Taunton, Massachusetts
1- Illinois Northern Hospital for the Insane:
2- Bloomingdale Hospital Centenary for the Insane:
3- Le Petit Chateaux, La Celle Saint Cloud, Paris
4- Central Indiana State Psychiatric Hospital
You’d be excused to be confused. The St-Cloud petit chateau is eerily kirkbride..
Perhaps the French government doesn’t want to make our wackos talk after all. Maybe It just wants to lock them up for a few days. Perhaps sanity would then prevail..

Ah, thank you for the comment, sir! Having grown up in Boston, I know the Massachusetts State Lunatic Hospital well (only by reputation, I assure you). As for La Celle Saint Cloud, were you able to find out that they’re meeting at Le Petit Chateaux? Regardless, what a name for the place; I can just imagine some French prince inviting a visiting cardinal to his little summer home outside of Paris.

Well, I guess it’s just a peaceful not-too-important place for our 2nd class representatives to relax, meditate and talk over some mind-clearing promenades.
Perhaps a game of gulf between Ibrahim Kenaan and Ahmad Fatfat, or some flirtatious whispers between Mr. De freige and Mirna el Murr..One thing is for sure, stress as a factor will be eliminated amid such beautiful scenery..
