Eighth Arrondissement

CROSSWORD HERE

Enrich your Itineraries
       A European circuit. Although a large number of streets named after
European cities are grouped in the neighbourhood aptly named "European" (8th
arrondissement), it does not seem possible to compose an itinerary which uses
only them. 
    Failing that, try to find a circuit which goes from the place de l'Europe
to place de l'Europe (and passing through it as many times as you want), which
uses ELEVEN of those streets without ever, apparently, retracing your steps
(but you can cross them).

A Game of Capitals
    The whole world knows that Londons are Havana Cigars made originally for
the English and that they draw their name from the city of London. The whole
world also knows that romaine is a type of salad, a frankfurter is a type of
sausage, a Milanese is a kind of cutlet, and no one would be surprised to hear
a café waiter shout, "and one Paris-butter-pickles!" 

What capitals (or large cities) do you associate with:
	A civil war
	A dog
	A game of cards
	A small cabinet
	Inner drives
	A kind of collar 
	Polish
	A hat
	A slow waltz 
	Fabric?
