Tunesmith, same here, but not because of the song, although I thought of it at the time. I stayed at wonderfully romantic, grungy low rent place, called the (Hotel Le Suede?) on the Boulevard Saint-Michel near Place (Pigalle?) with a view of the Seine and Nortre Dame.

I did so, at the specific request of an old boss, who asked when I got there, if I would go to Notre Dame and ask the nuns on the right (as opposed to the nuns on the left) to light candles for his daughter who had died or been killed when very young.

It always seemed a very enigmatic request and because of the quirkiness of the song as well, the two have always been linked in my mind.
