France Photo Gallery

[bixente]

I thought it would be fun to post some pictures of France. First up, this is from Le Mans:



btw, I'm aware this doesn't belong here, but could a moderator move it? I can't access the DU Lounge (I was going to post this here, but it says it can't access the page).

5. Look at how liberalism/socialism has ruined the place

I mean.. where are all of the Wal Marts, 7-11's, and McD's?

<sarcasm off>

[bixente]

6. I hope I'm not going overboard here...

Paris Seine River...

[Lavender Brown]

14. Great photos

I haven't been there, and would like to very much.

7. Well, no Wal Marts or 7-11's but, sadly,

there is probably a McDo somewhere around a corner. You just don't see it on these (very nice) pics.
Starbucks are beginning to invade too. A few have been opening in Paris and I guess it won't be too long until you see them around every corner too. That's very bad news for the little "cafés".

8. Le Tour de France

More...











And some others...



















Question: Who is this?

[bixente]

9. Am I posting too many?

If I am, someone tell me.





























And finally, the highest dune in Europe...

10. Answer to question of "who is this?"...

Thierry Henry on the left. Patrick Viera on the right. Both play their club football for Arsenal and their international football for France.

[bixente]

11. Correct!

Anyway, that's all I've got. Hope you enjoyed them.

:)

15. They were great...

...Paris looks like a beautiful city and France like a beautiful country.

You're French, then? Your name reminds me of Bixente Lizarazu.

In any case, welcome to DU. :hi:

18. They are football players on French national team..

and they are team mates on a UK football club called Arsenal Gunners.

Thierry Henry and Patric Veira. Not sure about the spelling

[ArkDem]

17. French troops on the ramparts...

I'm French! Why do think I have this outrageous accent, you silly king-a?!

[Hobo]

21. I don't want to talk to you no more, you empty headed animal food troug...

I fart in your general direction. Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries.


Ah! The pythons

24. Ark,

I wanted this thread to focus on the beauty of France, I don't want pictures making jokes about French troops.

[ArkDem]

28. DU rules state:

References to Monty Python are welcome additions to ANY thread. Anyone offended will be forced to watch 'Holy Grail' one time a week for one year.

Please read the rules.
