Auvergne

Home / AuvergnePage 732

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.

 


TGV, Book now or when we get to France?
June 25, 2004  By France.com 

Hello,
We were wondering if we should purchase our Tickets on the TGV now or when we get to France? Booking now from the States adds about $50 or more onto the price of the tickets. Handling fees, shipping fees…
We have heard from friends in Europe that we can walk up and get tickets, but my wife is concerned that we might not get on the train we need to if we wait. We are going to be traveling from Tours to Lyon on a Monday and there is only one HighSpeed train that meets our time constraints.
Any help would bwe appriciated!

Merci,
JAck

France Telecom Arm to Go Ahead With IPO
June 22, 2004  By France.com 

France Telecom SA’s phone directories unit, Pages Jaunes, said Tuesday it will go ahead with one of the largest initial public offerings seen in Paris in two years despite difficult market conditions.

The plan to float Pages Jaunes – “Yellow Pages” in French – values the company at between 3.6 billion euros and 4.2 billion euros ($4.4 billion to $5.1 billion).

“I still believe the underlying value of Pages Jaunes is largely over 4 billion euros,” said Michel Combes, France Telecom’s CFO and chairman of the Pages Jaunes supervisory board.

Disgraced Ex-CEO, No Longer Master of the World
June 22, 2004  By France.com 

PARIS (Reuters) – Jean-Marie Messier, who once celebrated a transatlantic mega-merger with a sound-and-light show in a courtyard of the Louvre, awoke on Tuesday in a Paris police cell.

The man who once dubbed himself J6M — “Jean Marie-Messier, me myself master of the world” — and transformed a dowdy water utility into a media empire at a cost of $50 billion, turned himself over to police on Monday as they carry out an insider trading probe.

Messier was set to spend a second night in a fraud squad cell on Tuesday, a far cry from the $18 million New York loft he lived in as Vivendi chief.

American, 23, in Paris — seeks good conversation
June 22, 2004  By France.com 

If you’re a native English speaker looking for good conversation in Paris, I’d love to write or have coffee.

If you’re a French English-speaking person and you can 1) tolerate my English and 2) tolerate speaking it around me, I’d love to meet you, too. I barely know any French, but I am eager to learn and currently taking classes to learn this fine language. And around me, you’re instantly an expert on everything. That can’t be so bad. Write: billym004@aol.com (those are zeros, not ‘o’s. And forgive me for the Aol part).

Billy,

Formerly of America (also known as ‘Etat Unis’, but for us, it’s basically the ENTIRE Western Hemisphere. Mexico and Canada have failed to come to terms with the fact that they are our 51st and 52nd states. Sorry, Europe, you’re next!).
