Meanwhile, another bit of France's patrimony went up in flames last night. Rotten luck they seem to be having. :rubchin:

Apparently all those wealthy French folk that promised to finance the rebuild have suddenly got very tight !

Those stray flames get everywhere en France

While that is true, it's never been different. They were Nazis back in the day. In the 1950s I mean. Don't believe me? See the film by Jean Rouch about the provinces, wherein, it is revealed, by means of Rouch's Cinema Verite style, that these provincial Frenchies were still very high on Vichy, liked Hitler, wished the 3rd Reich had ended differently, and would have loved to see a few Jews being toasted over an open fire.

So, you see, these are your preferred people. Not exactly models of virtue, unless you are of that particular mental stripe.
