[img_assist|nid=22101|title=|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=220|height=147]Career

Cotillard began acting during her childhood, appearing on stage in one of her father's plays. Her career as a film actress began in the mid-1990s. She rose to prominence in the late 1990s when she was cast in the Luc Besson production Taxi (1998) as Lili Bertineau, a role that she reprised in two sequels. She then earned very good reviews and the attention of cinephiles via her portrayal of twins who exchange their lives after one of them dies in Les Jolies Choses.

Why Everyone Should Bike in Burgundy
January 25, 2008  By France.com 

As a cycling tour guide for Duvine Adventures in Tuscany I was not very happy about having to leave my beloved Italy this September to spend a week at our European headquarters in Beaune in the heart of Burgundy.  Coming from Italy I expected to find only cold weather and colder people in France.  The all-night train ride from Florence did nothing to put me in a better mood.

A Paris "must see" : the "Pere Lachaise "
January 17, 2008  By France.com 

if you'll visit Paris, you need to visit the "Pere Lachaise" (Father Lachaise).
Father Lachaise is a cemetary but not a sad and squalid place.
Father Lachaise is a "must see" in Paris and, above all, a beautiful undulating and green park with an extraordinary sculpture collection.

2. We are more old fashioned type, not into the modern hotels or anything, so we are thinking about staying on the left bank. What are the best hotels to stay at?

Ever Wondered How To Prepare Frog's Legs?
January 6, 2008  By France.com 

 

I love going to the Sunday market in the Vieux Lille (Old Lille) just to hear some of the conversations between vendors and customers. You get some fantastic recipe ideas and quite often, a good laugh. Here’s a prime example. The man in the photo is the fishmonger in question.

Does anyone know the percentage of the French population in the United States?
December 28, 2007  By France.com 

I was just thinking about it and suddenly I started to wonder: What is the French population of the United States? From being on this website it seems that there are more than I expected, but because of my location (Las Vegas, Nevada) I have never actually encountered any French-Americans before. I'll do my research, but if anyone knows it, please tell me. Thanks!
