Water all over the place.
 

In the absence of GOT's greatest mod I'll step in with a few french titbits to keep us ticking over.

(almost) grouchos fact hunt:

French was the official language of England for over 300 years.

France produces more nuclear electricity than Spain, Russia, Germany and the UK combined.

Under laws that no-one has ever got round to removing from the statute book, it is illegal to call a pig Napoleon.

Comte cheese is best eaten 30 months after it is made.

When the Nazis invaded Paris, curators of the Louvre hid the great pieces of art. One story goes that a painting was too big to hide, so they nailed it to the ceiling of a Paris pub. Nazi soldiers would often drink there and never looked up!
 


victor hugo is a decent read, for you bookworms

jacques cousteau opened up a whole new world for those who like a bit of scuba

cheese is good, and the frenchies do it well, their wine is also pretty decent (goes well with their cheese)

and charles de gualle was a top, top bloke
