Monsieur Hulot curiously wanders around a high-tech Paris, paralleling a trip with a group of American tourists. Meanwhile, a nightclub/restaurant prepares its opening night, but it's still under construction. Monsieur Hulot has to contact an American official in Paris, but he gets lost in the maze of modern architecture which is filled with the latest technical gadgets. Caught in the tourist invasion, Hulot roams around Paris with a group of American tourists, causing chaos in his usual manner. —Leon Wolters <wolters@strw.LeidenUniv.nl> In yet another outing by the bumbling Monsieur Hulot, we find him lost in an ultra-modern Paris as he tries to locate someone. As always seems to be the case, chaos erupts wherever Hulot is to be found. Meanwhile, a group of American tourists frequently crosses his path and staff struggle to have a new restaurant ready for its opening night. Sight gags galore. —garykmcd In ultra-modern Paris, a group of American female tourists have just arrived and are visiting the sites, with one of them, Barbara, longing to see things that evoke her image of old-fashioned Paris. Also in town is slightly bumbling M. Hulot, who despite knowing the city, is constantly getting lost while people who have been looking for him seem to run into him by chance. The women and Hulot's movements, which largely parallel each other, at the airport, at an office complex, at a new products exposition, at an apartment building, at a new nightclub/restaurant, and in city traffic, are often setups for visual tableaux. —Huggo
