The King of Spain cancelled his official visit to France as a result of the Airbus crash in the Alps, but the food proposed by the Mairie (Hotel de Ville) and the Elysee Palace to entertain the King and Queen has not gone to waste.
In a particularly republican gesture the food was divided into "plateaux repas" and distributed to the winter refuges housing the poorest people in Paris. It's not known if anyone said "let the poor eat the cakes".
