I am interested in moving to Paris
My girl and myself would like to relocate to Paris. I have a vast medical history and require expensive medications. What is healthcare and insurance in France like? Is healthcare a government issue or is it acquired mostly through employment? Any help is appreciated. Also, how is the economic climate in Paris? I currently live outside Washington, DC. Are living expenses similiar to those in the USA?
Napoleon?
Hello I just finished a book on Napoleon Bonaparte and i found him to be a truely great man. I was wondering what attitude French people have towards him. I have heard him coined "the first anti-christ" which I think is ridiculous and he has been accused of war mongering. These acusations to anyone educated about him are untrue. Is he a French national hero?
Places to go with a kid
I am going to Paris with my husband and my eight year old granddaughter on October 2 and we are staying by EuroDisney. We are going to EuroDisney. Is it a good idea to rent a car? We plan on taking the RER to Paris. What are the other places in Paris can I take my granddaughter? How is driving outside of Paris? Is it the same as in US? We were in Paris in May and we saw the driving in Paris and it was scary. I am a little nervous this time because we are on our own in this Paris trip.
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.
