He'll give you a free ride to the Argent Tournament if you haven't already started the quest lines there.

Le fabuleux destin d'Amélie Poulain, directed by Jean-Pierre Jeunet comes into mind too.

I thought Jean Pierre Poulain was the writer of Histoire de la Cuisine.

For some bizarre reason, his hippogryph appears on the minimap with hunters Track Dragonkin ability.

My personal guess would have been that "Jean Pierre Poulain" is a reference to the film "Amélie." The full French title was "Le Fabuleux Destin d'Amélie Poulain," and it was directed by Jean Pierre Jeunet.

Who would have thought, that there will be so many honor, in a simple game like that. And by honor, I do not mean the one you get from killing enemy players, I mean REAL honor, that touches your heart, and stays in your memory.

I started from the memorial of Koiter, and I ended up reading stories, that put pain in my chest. I have played this game from around 7 years, and had no idea that there is so deep meaning in simple things like that. Which leads me to an idea, that will ease my pain, and most likely the pain of others.

On each of their respective birthdays, and the days that all of them have died, aswell during the Day Of The Dead, I will go to all of their memorials, and give respect to their deaths. I will bring along friends, and tell them who those people are, and how they died. It will be good from all of you, to do the same. Because, when few words are spoken, or wrote on a small piece of paper, they with ease fade into the abyss of time, but, when many, many words are wrote, they become a book, and a book, can be passed down with centuries and milleniums. We, the people that respect those who have died, are the words. Let us find more people, and make a whole book with them, so the honor of those who have died, be remembered for as long as possible.

Let us now bow and kneel to the dead ones, because, no one shall escape from that, be it king, or be it simple harvester. I will post this around, and make more people see this. Let us do something, that we can be proud of, let us show to the families and close friends, that we, the ones that play this game, care a lot.

P.S. : Message created by DarkTroll, a Private Server player, that cannot effort to play in Retail. One Must Die To Be Reborn, those have died, and shall be reborn, by this memorial. When titles, races, sides, weapons and armors are removed, we are all just mortal people.

I though his name was reffering to Le fabuleux destin d'Amélie Poulain.

The director of this movie was Jean-Pierre Jeunet. So, Jean-Pierre Poulain.

But I guess I was wrong haha.

He does not seem to give the free ride to the Argent tournament any more. That's what I found on my lvl 77 mage, anyway.

The textbox dialogue when players interact with Jean Pierre Poulain:

The Argent Tournament has begun in the northern reaches of Icecrown, <class>. If you've yet to find your way there, I can pay your way.

The more we have participating in the melee, the stronger we'll be when we strike against the Lich King.

If players haven't started the tournament quest lines, they will have the option to click a response and be flown there:

( ) I'll take the flight.
