Clumsy Monsieur Hulot is bewildered by the high‑tech labyrinth of modern Paris. While trying to reach a business appointment, he becomes lost, his meandering path echoing that of an American tourist. Their wandering through the inventive cityscape leads to occasional encounters, a growing attraction, and a final meeting at a chaotic restaurant surrounded by an array of eccentric characters.
