as niko2x pointed out:
avec is french and means
WITH
as in:
Monsieur Aba voyage avec son épouse et enfants.
Mr. Aba travels with his wife and children.
Comprenez-vous?
The writer was just being pretentious. Lots of people think that if they drop a french word or two they'll appear erudite, intelligent, and well-read.*
* these are all synonyms for the same concept, and repeating different words with the same meaning over and over is another tool of pretension.

Hrm... not sure who the nihonjin are here besides me and Ahochaude.
I'm too old and Ahochaude is married.
Back on topic, I had a chance to go to Tokyo to help a company set up their new office. They have big expansion plans. Tempting.
