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.

Does anyone know how to take an inexpensive train to Lyon? A friend told us that he used to go for the day to eat at some great restaurants. When I looked into the train prices on the Internet, I couldn’t believe how expensive they were. Am I missing something? We had a wonderful meal at La Pyramide but hated the traffic on the highway, so wanted to train down from Paris on our next visit. Thanks! kmskeating@aol.com

Raffarin also vowed to press ahead with other reforms as the government faces pressure to cut a huge public deficit as well as unemployment above the euro zone average, despite the risk of sparking protests before regional elections in March.

Charles Louis Napoleon Bonaparte (April 20, 1808 – January 9, 1873) was the son of King Louis Bonaparte and Queen Hortense de Beauharnais; both monarchs of the Kingdom of Holland.
He was elected President (1848-1852) of the Second Republic of France and subsequently Emperor (1852-1870), reigning as Napoleon III (Second French Empire). In a situation that resembles the case of Louis XVIII of France, the numbering of Napoleon’s reign assumes the existence of a legitimate Napoleon II of France who never actually ruled.
