Auvergne

Home / AuvergnePage 781

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.

 


France courts U.S. investors with ads
November 17, 2004  By France.com 

The French government is starting an ad campaign this week to encourage American investors to do more business in France.

The challenges might seem daunting, particularly given the tensions between the French and American governments over the war in Iraq. But the substance and purpose of the campaign turn out to have less to do with the United States than with Europe.

The creators of the campaign did worry about the chill between President George W. Bush and President Jacques Chirac of France, which has been played out in popular culture for several years now.

France ponders tattered relations with Ivory Coast government
November 8, 2004  By France.com 

PARIS : After a weekend of bloodshed in Ivory Coast, France was left pondering how — and whether — to rebuild its shattered relationship with President Laurent Gbagbo.

The already tense relations between the Ivorian leader and the government in Paris hit crisis point on Saturday, when Ivorian air force jets bombarding rebel positions in the north of the country struck a peace-keeping encampment and killed nine French soldiers.
Acting under instructions from President Jacques Chirac, French military commanders hit back and destroyed most of the Ivorian air force.

That provoked anti-French riots in the main city Abidjan which led to the deployment of hundreds of extra French troops in its former west African colony.

Booked this hotel based on good reviews, but were disappointed
November 7, 2004  By France.com 

Everywhere we looked for, we read nice things about the hotel Les Clos Medicis in St Germain, Paris. From decor to location, to service, everything sounded great. Only one of those stood up to expectations!

Starting with the positive, the location is indeed great. Right by the Luxembourg Gardens, Place de la Sorbonne, Le Pantheon. One block to secure public parking. Restaurants everywhere and, in different directions, short walks away from the Louvre, Notre Dame, Orsay, etc etc.

Decor?
