very confused about rail system in France

Hello,
I’m going to Paris the first week of March. I will be staying there for 10 days and I won’t be going to any other countries except for two day visit to London. (which I already got a train ticket for)
I was thinking about buying the France Eurail Select Pass but now I’m having my doubts. It seems like even Pass holders have to pay for riding certain trains, then what it’s the point of buying the pass here if I’ll still have to pay overthere. I’m only planning to travel to Riems, St Malo, and maybe Bordeaux. If so, would you recommend to buy the pass here or just buy each ticket when in France. The Pass the I was going to buy is priced at $215 (1st class).
What would you recommend?

POPULATION OF LAVAL, FRANCE

Hi from Georgia. Does any one know the population of Laval or how big a city it is compared to Rennes? I would like to pick up a rental car in Laval rather than Rennes as Rennes is so big to drive to the American Brittany Cemetery in St. james. Do you know how far it is from Laval to St. James? Thanks ya’ll.

Schutzenberger Beer

I lived in Strasbourg about 4 years ago and had the privilege of drinking Schutzenberger beer (www.schutzenberger.net) for some time. I live in California and have looked everywhere for this stuff mais je n’arrive pas a le trouver. Does anyone know where I might find some of this here in the States?

Merci bien!

France faces fine over Lafayette scandal

France may have to reimburse Taiwan US$600 million for breaches in a 1991 contract to build six frigates, Le Figaro reported yesterday, citing a public prosecutor’s office report to Justice Minister Dominique Perben.

Taiwan filed a lawsuit in November claiming illicit commission payments breached the terms of the frigate construction contract awarded to Thomson-CSF, now Thales SA, the newspaper reported.

The public prosecutor said in a January 15 report sent to Perben that France may be liable to repay the US$600 million in illicit commissions because it acted as guarantor for the frigate contract, Le Figaro said.

SYDNEY: Australian-born Nancy Wake, the wartime French resistance fighter who became her country’s most decorated war heroine, is to receive government assistance in recognition of her contribution, Prime Minister John Howard said.

The 91-year-old former secret agent known in wartime France as “the White Mouse” because of her ability to elude capture, resettled in Australia after World War II, but returned to Britain in 2001 to spend the rest of her days among surviving friends there.
