Donerail : a regular Calva bottle costs 15 euros in Auchan or Carrefour, France's main grocery stores. So, with all due respect to you, TPWIAO, or Forum_admin, I think you got screwed. I never buy booze in duty-free, especially in France. They're less competitive than big super stores, because they're supposed to lure in the Japanese tourists who will NEVER go to a French grocery store anyway and thus believe they are getting a good deal.
Oops, I forgot ... 15 euros might be equal to $ 90 right now , I haven't checked today's rate ... LOL
About the school security thing : you're right, there was a nationally planned operation of police checks in some schools in France on thursday. It was a media operation, to show that police was there, doing its job, securing schools, etc. If you ask me, I think it was a flop, no big arrests were made, yet huge amounts of policemen were used for this thing. Where I live, we used to have a lot of school violence around 1998-2000, with gunshots outside, armed policemen in the yard, stabbed teachers and all, but then it cooled down a little.
