French Cars?
Hi there, I’m a Driving Instructer from California, and in order to make my classes a little more interesting I do this little game with my students. I was wondering if SOMEONE could tell me what cars that the French people make. I know about Peuget and Renault, but what others are there?
Thank you for your help…

History of France
Gaul
Settled mainly by the Gauls and related Celtic peoples (apart from a shrinking area of Basque population in the south-west), the area of modern France comprised the bulk of the region of Gaul (Latin Gallia) under Roman rule from the 1st century BC to the 5th century AD.
Franks
In 486, Clovis I, leader of the Salian Franks to the east, conquered the Roman territory between the Loire and the Somme, subsequently uniting most of northern and central France under his rule and adopting (496) the Roman Catholic form of Christianity in preference to the Arianism preferred by rival Germanic rulers.
Louis XVI
Louis XVI of France (August 23, 1754 – January 21, 1793) succeeded his grandfather (Louis XV of France) as King of France on May 10, 1774; he was crowned on June 11, 1775. His father, the dauphin, had died in 1765.

15,000 die in heat wave?
How could this happen? I realize you don’t get heat like that in France very often and most people do not have air conditioning, but do you have house fans? Is basic heat safety not common knowledge?
Why doesn’t there seem to be more outrage? 104 degrees doesn’t seem hot enough to kill 15,000 people to me. In my area of the U.S.A. we had 20 days of more than 110 in the month of July alone, yes it broke records but we were not loosing people to the heat left and right.
Is your government planning on making any changes so this does not happen again? 15,000 deaths in France would be like 90,000 in America. Does anyone here think there would be a politician alive who’s head was not being called for if this happened in America?
Weather in Winter
Hi, I was just wondering if anyone can help, re the weather in winter in France.
I am heading over there for 7 weeks in December/January as part of an exchange program and was wondering what sort of clothes are best to take. I am aware that it is around 6/7 degrees celcius but comming from Brisbane, Australia, the lowest we normally get during the day in winter is 22 degrees so its quite a dramatic change!
Thanking you in advance,
