Isle of Wight residents to take "tooth ferry" to France
Posted On April 15, 2004  By France.com  And has No Comment

Residents of the Isle of Wight who need dental treatment, are taking what’s been called the “tooth ferry” to France.

Cowes independent councillor Bernard Buckle is frustrated by the lack of NHS dentists on the Isle of Wight and he’s planning a form of dental tourism to address the problem.

He’s decided to organise a coach and ferry trip to Cherbourg for up to 50 people who need urgent work on their teeth.

Mr Buckle is charging each patient £120 for two nights’ accommodation, travel and dental treatment. The councillor said he felt that travelling to continental Europe was the only way for people living on the Isle of Wight to receive affordable treatment.

Un père corse prodigue ses derniers conseils à son fils, le soir de sa nuit de noce.

« Mon fils, ce soir, tu prendras ta femme dans tes bras, tu la porteras jusquà la chambre, et tu la déposeras sur le lit. Parce quun Corse, cest FORT.

Ensuite, tu te déshabilles et tu te mets tout nu & parce quun Corse, cest BEAU.

Et là, avant de commencer, tu la regardes droit dans les yeux.

My name is Natasha and I am an american art student going to Paris, France in June. I welcome any penpals as well as any information on the not-so-touristy things to do, especially shopping.

France to Proceed With Utility Reforms
Posted On April 13, 2004  By France.com  And has No Comment

Finance Minister Nicolas Sarkozy told trade union leaders Tuesday he would press ahead with reform of France’s state-owned power and gas giants despite threats of strikes.

Sarkozy told union leaders he plans to introduce a draft law in early June to give Electricite de France and Gaz de France the status of ordinary companies – paving the way for listing their shares and selling some of them on the stock market.

The minister’s comments came as he and Health Minister Philippe Douste-Blazy separately met with workers’ representatives in a bid to calm growing trade union discontent over the government’s broader reform agenda.

U.S. warning halts Paris trains
Posted On April 9, 2004  By France.com  And has No Comment

 Police in Paris halted traffic on a commuter train line for about an hour Thursday evening after the United States warned French officials of a possible bomb attack, police said.

Authorities found nothing suspicious and lifted the alert around 9:30 p.m. (3:30 p.m. ET).

The RER-A line was stopped and passengers were evacuated while officials conducted inspections of the rails and stations, authorities said.

Police headquarters in Paris said the CIA alerted it to the threat of a bomb attack directed at the underground train lines or the Metro subway system.

In Washington, an administration source said the U.S. government told the French government about a nonspecific but credible threat of a bomb attack.
