Travel Agent Referral for France

President Bling Bling is French.
The Queen is English.

Why does one call "Bling Bling" for Sarkozy?

 

[Cacia]

Oh, I guess because he is flashy?

Likes women, dresses smart....

not a typical politician,.....kidding

from Time: (is Liberation your paper? I guess ya'll named him that?)

Out are the days of somber, aloof and understated figureheads of the French Republic; welcomed in are the celebrity and multi-billionaire visitors, whom Sarkozy greets while wearing expensive suits, stylish sunglasses and conspicuously large wristwatches. Sarkozy has become what the front page of Wednesday's Libération called "The Bling-Bling President."

It's the big watches that pushed them over the edge
Don't worry, they make fun of my prez too.

Interesting!

I know Libération, but I don't read, because I am not French, but Swiss.

Bush

he takes a lot of abuse

They even spit on my car once, with my kids inside (I had a sticker)

that's okay, cause it really impressed my kids (they love that stuff) They must have told 50 people...

A last thought on the bikes. Have you thought of renting bikes when yu are there?

Provence Bike is one site I found. Provence Bike : location de velos, motos. Avignon
If you go to Location Velos, then Velos VIT or Velos do course they might have something that would suit. You can even rent a tandem might be a bit of fun.
It seems to be about 100 to 125 euro's a week for their top of the range bike.

Have a great trip.

thanks Victor!

I'm marinating in the sight of those 20% hills. It wouldn't be so bad, but JB rides much bettah.

I see those Trek bikes would be about 400/wk for the two of us.

hmmmm
we have fancier bikes
but that is a great site, JB might rent a motorcycle he says.
We could not ride tandem steep.

The conversion is .6 today.

Just got back from the south, I had my trimix cert'.
Yessssssss !
It was quite cold and even snowy on the hills, but it's much better now.
The wind is still blowing strong and could make you feel cold.
