Roland Barthes

France is great because . . . I should know this one, shouldn't I.

No. Can't think of anything.

Oh yes, France is great because, they don't speak German, and they have the Americans and British to thank for that.

France is great because it's not Syria, or Iran.

hi there oiki. why put up a web site that does not exist, totsiens,

BIG HEAD

not quite right old man. re health care... here you pay say 100 euros for treatment at a doctor, you then send the reciept for it to the SS, and they re-embourse 68% of it ie 68 euros, you stand the rest... thats why 90% of french have "top up" insurance, to pay the "rest".. now over in spain ,if you are over 60 you get it free. ps,, 90% here have a carte vital (its a green credit card ), if you give the doctor it, he bungs it in a computer, the SS pays the doctor 68% direct and you hand over the other 32%.. bon courage..

.. ...Tu comprends bien le français!!.. mmmmmmmmm is tu acceptable to a complete stranger, "je crois" that its only used to children and close friends and family,, in fact it can be well,, lets say a bit insulting if not used in the proper manner.. but there you go, bon courage.

i think you may be a little wrong on the parlez du peleton, before say 1990 yes french was le langue of the peleton, but know, mmm sorry to say it but english or american or even anglo-saxon ( prefered now in france to anglaise) is the major language... you have got to remember that the french pro teams who ride the big events are a bit thin on the ground,, what with all the ex eastern block riders (who want to speak anglais ) and the scandanavian riders who do speak english and the germans and dutch who are english speaking, its going away from the french dominence...if you are lucky enough to see the riders comments after a big event on tv , 90% speak english, including guys like zabel, who prefers to speak english outside germany..bon courage.

The RER and the Metro... I can get to work faster on the train than with the car...


The Haute Vallee Chevreuse, because I can ride in National Forest 30 minutes after leaving the house and still live close enough to use the RER mentioned above...

The hippodrome Longchamps, because no matter when you go out there, there's someone riding...

The clubs!

The TGV's

Cheese, Bread, Salt, Mustard, products marked AB (Organic)

Regional languages (Alsace, Bretagne, Basque)

Must agree with you there about the Longchamp circuit. A suberb facility which could be copied near major cities anywhere. These days my choice is inside the circuit for the horse racing. If you have a few euro's to spare, one can walk to the Bois de Boulogne for a bit of extra curricular activity in the woods. Plenty of bikes available for a ride. I don't think the Parisians are as rude and ignorant as Londoners. As for the females, the french invite you to look and admire them, whereas in London they hide behind the newspaper, and if you smile and say Hello. They call the Police.

Well it beats here - you have to spend over 160 euros, to be able to reclaim any of it.

France is great because of the Statue of Liberty and all it stands for. Oh, and liberating the Murkians.

Isn't it funny that France has managed to really piss the yanks off with a simple potato chip. Something that Murkians hold very dear to thier heart.

Respect the chip!!

gotta love France for that.
