Paris for Five

Help! I am looking for accomodation in Paris for a family of five in August. Two adults and kids 10, 12 and 13. Everything seems to be for four or fewer… Any leads?

Digital Camera CD creating facilities available?

I will be bringing a digital camera with me and am hoping to be able to have a CD made of the pictures every day. Are there facilities in the Lyon (particularly) area but also all over France where this could be done swiftly and inexpensively?

If it CANNOT be done, I could bring a 35mm instead. I don’t want to have a problem finding places to do this for me.

If it matters, I have a SONY camera and they have a Memory Stick.

Thank you.

We are seaking for mature, married couple

We read a lot of France, and we’d like to meet the married coupleof the same age,like we are, young retired people for friendship, visiting America, travelling with us. We do like classical music, painting, gardening, tasty and healthy food.
We’d be glad to have the french friends. We started learning French language.

Odds n' Ends

I’m hoping someone would be able to tell me how high the Massif
Central mountains are, how high the mountains near Tarbes are, and
what the population of Auch is.

Also, on a cultural note: anyone know some great sites or sources
for a take on dating/the battle of the sexes? I haven’t searched
extensively on this subject yet, but I’m dying to find how singles
view the dating scene and each other.

Thanks,

Roland Garros

Roland Garros (October 6, 1888 – October 5, 1918) was a French fighter pilot who is still erroneously called the world’s first fighter ace. (That honor went to another French airman, Adolphe Pegoud.)

John Kerry or George Bush?

If the U.S presidency were dependent on France, who would win? John Kerry or George Bush? (I think I know the answer) Now that being said, if we suspend reality for a momemt and you were able to whisper in the ear of the Average American voter as he or she was in the voting booth, what would you say to the voters of the United States?

mailing luggage to France via UPS

We decided this year to ship our luggage to our vacation rental house because the connection in Paris ( to Montpellier) was too tight for the transfer. We went to UPS and they said no problem – they promised delivery to our doorstep within 4 to 5 business days of our arrival. The charge was $400.00. This turned into a nightmare – it took ten days and endless phone calls before a UPS truck finally arrived bearing ONE of our two bags. But the shocker was— There was an additional cost of $478.00
which we had to pay to the driver. He would not release the bag until he had the cash.
We have been unable to ascertain how customs arrived at this amount (the second bag arrived the next day and there was no charge).

Favorite places in Normandy

Okay, Donerail is going to Normandy next November. Let’s all share our favorite places (and activities) in Normandy. There are the well touristed Mont St. Michel, Giverny, Bayeux and the WWII beaches. What other places have you found? What was your favorite?

Thanks.
