      Bruno commença à manger. Il se stabilisa rapidement autour d’un parcours alimentaire qui descendait le boulevard Saint-Michel. D’abord il commençait par un hot-dog, dans l’échoppe au croisement de la rue Gay-Lussac; il continuait un peu plus bas par une pizza, parfois un sandwich grec.
      He started to eat. His diet quickly settled into a nutritious trip down the Boulevard Saint-Michel. He would start with a hot dog from the takeaway on the corner of the rue Gay-Lussac; further down, he would have a slice of pizza or a kebab.
