Hi. I'm Valerie. I'm from FRANCE. I live in Amiens, north of France. and I work in Paris. Forgive me for my awful english.
I'm a lieutenant in the french Police force. It was the 14th of july 2002 in Paris, our "revolution day" just like the 4th of july in the USA, I mean celebrates, fireworks etc... Thus, that day, my boss calls me : a bomb scare at the "Trocadero", next to the "Tour Eiffel" during the famous 14th of july fireworks at the "Champs de Mars" (the garden which surrounds the "Tour Eiffel"). At the "Trocadero", some people go on the terraces to admire the fireworks. We were to make an indentity check of the people going terraces of "Trocadero" towards the "Champs de Mars" while crossing the river "La Seine". Among these people... Tom Welling and his wife. My boss explained to people the reasons of the indentity check and I checked on the indentity cards or passports. Well, Tom arrives. I recognized him immediately (I'd seen Smallville during my vacation in the USA ). But I was during duty hours, I could not ask him for an autograph or say to him that I was a huge Smallville fan. I checked on his passport (very old indentity picture) and his wife's passport. and unfortunately, that's it.
He is very tall, more beautiful in person than he is on TV. more masculine, less "teenager". and his eyes ! a piercing glance, light blue/green. I could not look him straight in the eyes. He wore jeans, a white shirt, sandals, a jeans jacket, and his wife jeans too. At that time, I didn't know that he had just married. But I understood that she was his girlfriend because they seemed very in love. Here, it was my story and... fortunately, there was no bomb.
