Our visit today takes us in the past to the best preserved of all the Cistercian abbeys, listed in the UNESCO World Heritage. Like the sister abbeys, Fontenay is located in a very secluded place. Saint Bernard de Claivaux, the founder of the Cistercian order, had stated the monasteries had to be established far from [...]

Air France lost our luggage – What to do?
Hi,
My wife and I just come back to Toronto, Canada from our honeymoon trip but only to find out that our luggage was lost. We had a transit from Barcelona to Paris and to Toronto, all by the Air France flight. At the baggage claim area in the Toronto airport, we checked with the Air France stuff, did a number of walk around to find our luggage but no luck. The Air France stuff said the bags should have arrived but obviously we didn't find it. We filled out a luggage lost form and the Air France gave us a number to call for the next day to check if the luggage re-appear. After reading the above postings, I have an ill feeling that our luggage is lost or stolen.
What can I do now?

Top Attractions in France
Hello everyone,
I am wanting to propose to my girlfriend soon, but I want it to be something that she will never forget and also that she will be able to brag about.
So this brings my question,
What is the most romantic place in France?
The only thing I can think of is the Eiffel Tower, but if you can think of anything better, that would really help.
I have been looking for places to see in France for a while now on a travel site, but if I could get an inside oppinion, I think that would be better.
Thanks!

Hi
Prehistoric Sites of Aquitaine
It all started 400 000 years ago, when Homo Erectus arrived in Perigord, coming from Africa.
The traces of early settlements show his ability to use some technology, like two sides’ flint, or fire, signs of adaptation to the cold environment in the glaciations eras.
Later on, Neandertal took his place; first species originating from Europe, he left numerous remnants of the tools he used or the game he hunted, until he disappeared 30 000years ago. He was the first human ancestor to bury the dead, thus testifying of a spiritual behaviour.
Looking for Frederique Bach
I am trying to find an old friend from LePuy en Velay. Her name is Frederique Bach. I did a French exchange with her in about 1990, she would have stayed with my family in Sutton, Dublin, Ireland.
At the time she was friends with Max Mejean, Florence and had a boyfriend called Jean. If anyone has any information please email me. I would really like to get back in contact with her.
How to get to Sainte Enimie (Gorges du Tarn)
I will be traveling to Sainte Enimie in September, flying out of JFK in NYC. Does anyone know the best way to get there once I land in Paris? Is it better to fly to Montpellier or take a train? Once I get to Montpellier, how do I get to Sainte Enimie? Is there some other city I should fly into, or to take a train to, instead of Montpellier? This will be my first trip to Europe. I am not going through a travel agency as I will be doing volunteer work in Sainte Enimie. Any advice you can give will be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Georges Braule
I met Georges Braule on a school trip to France at Easter time in 1964.We stopped at a school in Avignon and that is where I met him. He went to do his national service in 1964 and served in the French navy. We wrote to each other for 2 years. He must be around 60+ now and I would love to know if anyone thinks they know this man
I have often thought about him and wondered what happened to him.
Thank you ………..
