Given my usual stance on the French, it may come as a surprise to some to find out I do love France.  It is a truly amazing place, almost as beautiful as Canada, just smaller and warmer.  The Bone Family holiday this year took us to the South of France, to the Languedoc and a beautiful gite in Raissac d'Aude.  We drove down there, well I drove it.  Dad had just had an op and I was determined to get him and us down there as best I could.  Paris was a nightmare.  I've never visited the City of Light and to be fair, there are other places I have higher on my list.  Given the traffic and the utter ineptitude of the Parisian driver, it has slipped a tad further down the list.
