WWII

Hello Everyone. I am new to this board and it seems like an interesting one. I am from the U.S. and I spent a semester in France (in the ’80’s) and kept in touch with friends there for awhile but have fallen out of touch with them. I lived with a French family while attending school and had a very positive experience. I had a difference of opinion with some co-workers recently regarding how the french view the ending of WWII in France and their participation in it. My co-worker recently went to Paris on a short vacation, she also doesn’t speak french. She stated she saw some very large posters on a wall which she interpreted to mean the french had a very different view of WWII than we do.

Has anyone heard of the residence hall "Franciscaines de Lille" (spelling may be off)?

Thanks, Nuno.

Booze / gnole

Since this forum looks about as dead as the feeling of humanity in Dick Cheney’s brain, I’ll open a new topic about a major cultural difference between France and the US that I happen to care about : attitude towards ALCOHOL !!

I remember when I was a kid, when we’d go and visit my grandparents, my grandpa would usually open a bottle of white wine — my grandpa’s family is originally from Savoie, so they’ve always had a thing for white wine. Well, after I turned about 12 or 13, I remember my grandpa starting to offer me the glass of wine, too. And when I would refuse (I started enjoying wine quite late, and never really had the thing for white wine anyway), my grandpa would have this disappointed look in his eyes. As for my parents, they wouldn’t really bother.

France in May

hi all,

I’m travelling to France for the second time with my boyfriend in May 2005. We are looking forward to it greatly and are hoping to go from Paris down south to Provence and also to visit the French Alps. From there we will travel across to Germany. This should allow us about 3 weeks in France

We’re trying to flexible so have not booked any accommodation outside of Paris.

Transfer between Paris St. Lazare and Paris Nord

Hi! My husband and I are planning on visiting Caen and the Normandy beaches before our trip continues to Belgium. We are planning to travel by train from Caen to Brussels. We will be arriving from Caen at the Paris St. Lazare station and leaving for Brussels from Paris Nord. I’m wondering how long we should allow for the transfer between these two stations. Would 50 minutes be enough, or would 1 or 2 hours be better? The Die Bahn rail site lists 50 minutes for the transfer but I’m wondering if that would be enough, for two people who may be a little slow at figuring out where we should be as we have never traveled in France. Please let me know what you think. Thank you all for your help!
