Hey Francomphiles everywhere!
Just a quick note to let you know that our own Jean-Noel Frydman will appear on "Your World" with Neil Cavuto this Friday, 4:00PM EST. Will he convince FNC to change their position on the Boycott? We doubt it, but it’ll be interesting to watch.
Here we go again! Talks of boycott of French products for retaliating against the French government’s position on the Iraq post-war UN mandate are making the rounds in Washington, and elsewhere. Is this just a new development, or the continuation of the "malaise" between USA and France? What do you think of boycots in general? Is this what the oldest friendship beteen nations has to come to?
Due to the somewhat acrimonous debate, please refrain from vulgar, defamatory judgements. These do not help the debate and will be deleted without notice. That being said, everyone is welcome to share their thoughts and ideas about this very controversial issue.
Will be touring France next year & want to stay on the beach. Any recommendations? Will need to have nite life as well. What are the temps like between June – August? Have never been!
thank you
Kevin

At the crossroads of Europe
The caves of Lascaux, in France, contain some of the earliest known representational art, dating to between 17,000 and 15,000 years before the present.
These Paleolithic cave paintings consist mostly of realistic images of large animals, most of which are known from fossil evidence to have lived in the area at the time. The other common theme of the paintings is outlines of the human hand.
The Basques are an indigenous people who inhabit parts of both Spain and France. They are found predominantly in four provinces in Spain and three in France. This area is to be found around the western edge of the Pyrenees on the coast of the Bay of Biscay.
