Auvergne

Home / AuvergnePage 837

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.

Treaty of Versailles
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

The Treaty of Versailles of 1919 was the peace treaty that was created as a result of the six-month-long Paris Peace Conference of 1919 which put an official end to World War I. The treaty was ratified on January 10, 1920 and required that Germany accept responsibility for the war and was thus obliged to pay large amounts of compensation (known as war reparations). Like many other treaties, it is named for the place of its signing: the Hall of Mirrors in the Palace of Versailles. On January 18, 1919 a peace conference opened in Versailles, France to work on the treaty.

Lille 2004: european capital of culture
January 9, 2004  By France.com 

The Cultural Capitals of Europe were created by the Ministers of Culture of the European Community. Athens became the first Cultural Capital of Europe in 1985.
The event was conceived in order to help bring together different cultures.
To be named as Cultural Capital of Europe represents an unparalleled opportunity to assert the city’s identity on the European cultural map, as well as generating important media and tourism interest.

After Lille, we will have to wait until 2013 before another French city has the honour of hosting the Cultural Capital of Europe.

Help about immigration in france !
January 8, 2004  By France.com 

Hi,

Here is my trouble, i m a french guy, i met an US girl half a year ago, i went to visit her few times and now we would like to establish a serious relationship, that is mostly living together.

As my job situation in france is much better than her, we decided the best way would be for her to move in france.
From what i read, as an US citizen, with only her passport, she can come in france for 3 month but then need to go back to US for 3 month before coming back in Europe.
One solution would be to ask for a long stay VISA to france, but i m unsure if the reson "I want to live with a french guy" is enough to ask for it and i m worried about the fact the long stay VISA could be rejected.
