Salut!
I love seeing pics from those around the world. As for my pic, I thought I was being clever and original finding and using the word 'merde!' Then I saw your note on General Cambronnes' comment. So much for originality. How do you say.....c’est la vie.

I was there for Optical Fibre Measurement Conference in September, 1999. Beautiful city! I wish I could have taken a little vacation to spend some time looking around...
- Pie PS: I was told by a French co-worker that the only phrase of French that I needed was "Je voudrais un verre du vin rouge." He was right!

Right for "Je voudrais un verre du vin rouge.", but in Nantes, "vin blanc" (white wine "Muscadet") is more accurate.

I've never watched LCI before !!!!
I run and take out a subscription. It will be a pleasure to see her announce gasoline reach 2 euros. Thank you MrNoodle to share your info with friends. (I'm not sure it's your will to clearly understand terrorism that make you discover LCI !)
