More Fortune 500 companies are European than American

Enticing paragraph from an article on Earthlink News this morning.

"Today more Fortune 500 companies are European than American. European enterprises – Daimler-Benz on the ground, Airbus in the air, the Titan mission to Saturn in space – all threaten to usurp traditional American dominance. The United States’ GDP was long the world’s biggest. Now the EU’s is bigger."

Don’t know if you can access it or not if you don’t have an Earthlink account, but here’s the URL so you can try. It was a very interesting article, not negative, but very thoughtprovoking, especially considering the deficit problems we are currently having.

Tour de France 2005

Hi! My husband and I are planning on going to see the Tour de France, but have now idea where to start in planning. We would love to travel around the country, but we don’t know the best way to do it. Is taking the train the way to go? Or renting a car? From what i can tell of the maps that I’ve seen, is that the trains go everywhere. Well, if anyone has any tips, I would really appreciate it!

Thanks.

Short tours in Paris???

Can anyone help me with tour names and prices for a good 2 night/3 day tour of Paris taking in some of the main historic buildings and sights on a low budget?

I am travelling solo.

It would be in late June 2005.

Thanks for your help.

Sacre Coeur Comfort Inn

I found this location to be just right. Up the hill from the Moulin Rouge taking Houdin then left at Rue des Abbesses. I liked the Fruit market and markets down the street and the very nice artist area by Sacre Coeur. The price was right here, too.

Irish Students Need Help!!

we are wondering does anyone have any suggestions for any fun towns to go to live in for about 2 months or so.we are thinking about a town in the south of france which has a good balance of english and french speakers so we are not too stuck with the language bariers.

We are also trying to sort out jobs and accomodation before hand if we can so any suggestions are more than welcome.

Tour France On Line In 28 Minutes (Video + Stills)

My newest film "Napoleon Slept Here" takes you all around France, beginning and ending in Paris, with Notre Dame Cathedral, the Pompidou Center, Eiffel Tower, Napoleon’s Tomb, Sainte-Chapelle’s stained glass & the City of Lights at night; plus Nimes with its Roman Arena and Temple, the walled city of Carcassonne, Lourdes, the Palace of Chenonceau, a peek at the Bayeux Tapestry, and much more.

This is a free, non-commercial, streaming video on the Windows Media Player. No ads and no strings attached. I sell absolutely nothing.

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.
