Located at the heart of France’s hexagonal territory, Auvergne is a sparsely populated land of volcanic plateaus and large valleys. Unlike the Alps to the east or the Pyrénées to the southwest, its highest peaks reach only 6,000 feet above sea level and are free of snow in summer. The local authorities? efforts to safeguard the environment have made Auvergne one of the last protected zones in Europe.
Before going to Auvergne, familiarize yourself with its history and its gastronomy.
My wife and I are going to Paris this April 2005. I have read about the Paris Visite pass and thought that was what I needed to purchase, but I just read something about a Carte Orange pass. It’s supposed to be cheaper than the Paris Visite pass. I had not seen anything about this pass before. Is anyone familiar with it? What do you recommend and why?
Thanks for your help!

Is there anyone out there who has camped while in France? Can you rent campers (RVs???) and just tour around the country?
My boyfriend did that with some family members while in Alaska, and it seems to be a very economical way to see as many sites as possible in one trip. They rented an RV near the airport, and then drove around with their hotel right in their rental car. Just a little FYI for anyone planning on visiting the states and want to make many destinations without booking a ton of hotels!

Bonjour Forum!
I am a newbie to the forums, and I’ve been having a great time reading your discussions on everything! It sounds like a lively debate, and I’m excited to find some people that are willing to discuss things!
I would love to hear everyone’s thoughts on W’s tour of Europe and his rekindled relationship with Chirac over Syria.
Personally, I am glad that he’s started to (although half-heartedly) renew Transatlantic relations. I know he’s only doing it for selfish reasons (maybe the fact that he can’t conquer the evildoers w/o them??? evildoers = biggest joke ever), any diplomacy is welcomed at this point, in my book.
Any thoughts?

I know that there is always Formula 1 racing, but are there interesting car shows/ popular spots for car enthusiasts throughout France?
Thanks!
