I think that the wealth of individually-owned restaurants in the city here (as opposed to out in the suburbs, where there are virtually none) is part of what keeps us living in the city. <br /><br />I'm glad to know that you and Walt were able to meet <i>Bill from NH</i> and enjoy a fun restaurant outing!<br /><br />Judy<br />(who had to sheepishly explain my "quel QUE soit" mistake to my French-5 class today *LOL*)Seine Judeet (Judith)https://www.blogger.com/profile/07407353544376132484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-77772695012708171642009-09-18T22:03:02.210+02:002009-09-18T22:03:02.210+02:00Beaver, not sure what your point is.

This is, to my mind, a Sarkozy measure — encourage the rich to move to France. Sell citizenship, or at least residency rights. There's an argument for that strategy, of course. But many would argue that selective immigration, whatever the selection criteria, is contrary to republican values. I use the term "republican" with the French meaning, not the American.<br /><br />At any rate, we did not get our cartes de résident under the new program. We are keeping our 10 million euros a secret!

Annonce du ministère de l'Immigration. Aux termes de ce décret, « tout ressortissant étranger qui crée ou sauvegarde, ou s'engage à créer ou sauvegarder au moins 50 emplois, ou qui effectue ou s'engage à effectuer sur le territoire français un investissement d'au moins 10 millions d'euros, pourra se voir délivrer la carte de résident autorisant un séjour de 10 ans sur le territoire national ».<br /><br />Extrait de l'info hebdo #323 du 18 sep 2009 - Assemblee des Francais de l'Etranger.The Beavernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-35606799406228114272009-09-18T16:24:23.780+02:002009-09-18T16:24:23.780+02:00Ken, thanks for the update about Bill.

As for the wine, I'm not so enthusiastic but it certainly wasn't bad. Too bad Bill had rainy weather in Saint-Aignan; this afternoon, hours after his departure, the sun is out.<br /><br />If you come to the area, please let us know.Ken Broadhursthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04430899802705818716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-42327814524435022912009-09-18T14:13:04.526+02:002009-09-18T14:13:04.526+02:00The restaurant sounds wonderful.

And maybe I'll have to go to the area just to try Terry Puzelat's wines. I've been reading about him for years.Bob Rossihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08349830722788278723noreply@blogger.com
