Funny Expression: quel bon vent vous amène?

When you see someone you were not expecting

  • In English you 'd say "What do we owe the pleasure of your company to?"
  • In French, "Quel plaisir de vous voir".
You may also hear : Quel bon vent vous amène ? If you translate literally 
  • Quel : which ? 
  • bon vent : good wind
  • amener: to bring
So "Which good wind brings you?"
