Cabinet Noir is a game set in a different place altogether. They don't connect AFAICT.

Firstly, I must admit I dislike Wilmot's end. I really can't stand

a) the low ppa

b) having to endure the constant pressure from the Great Game

c) the carousel system, so I've ended up either doing Enjoying Lethal Prominence (for training Dangerous - Dangerous has always been the last skill to cap for me, even though persuasive was 10 levels lower before last cap) or getting my Whirring Contraptions and Legal Documents in the Bazaar Sidestreets (For a Zubmarine - there's a reason I didn't get it before pretty much being stat-capped at 150...)

Secondly, seeing as French is my 3rd language, which I'm currently studying, I haven't set myself fully into the past culture yet. I haven't encountered too many swans in French though, so it's possible it's a British reference. Either way, France was one of the big powers in Europe around 1900, so it's not too surprising they've developed networks in the Great Game. Colonies and all, you know.
