Paris Opera

The Palais Garnier is a grand landmark at the northern end of the Avenue de l’Opera in Paris, France. It is regarded as one of the architectural masterpieces of its time. Built in the Neo-Baroque style, it is the thirteenth theatre to house the Paris Opera since it was founded by Louis XIV in 1669.
It was often also called the Paris Opera, but since the building of the Opera Bastille in 1989, it is referred to as the Opera Garnier.

Why 'French Women Don't Get Fat'

(CBS) If you’ve ever wondered how French women stay slim while eating cheese, bread, and drinking wine, the book “French Women Don’t Get Fat” has the answers.

Author Mireille Guiliano visits The Early Show to share slimming secrets French women have known for years.

Consider this, only 11 percent of French people are obese compared to 30 percent of Americans who are 30 pounds heavier than a healthy weight. And the reason is not because French women smoke more. The percentage of female French smokers is not much greater compared to the number of Americans who smoke according to the American Cancer Society.

Finding a job in France

Hello,

I want to move to France in June/July and I’d like to know what you would recommend to find a job in France. I am bi-lingual and will be staying for about a year. The type of job really isn’t important (it’s just to cover the costs of the trip), but I’d like to secure a job before I leave.

I am completing a degree in Business in Canada and have experience in administration, marketing, and sales. Do you guys have any suggestions? Are there any good websites I should check out? Have any of you ever done this before?

Thanks in advance.
