Semantics
Lenga d'Òc = occitan / Langue d'Òïl = francés... Be clear and use good words, the word of the period you speak about. The "lenga d'Òc" was spoken, as well as the "lenga d'Òïl" was ; they have not spoken on the same area on the concerned period. Occitan is spoken now with the french language in Occitània. The differencies means the french colonialism... or expansionism. regards,

Robyn, soo enjoyed your very informed account of your visit to Bordeaux, I'm irish and my husband and I visit France often and have been in Bordeaux too. You are quite right about many of the vineyards (vignoble) having irish names. These were irish noblemen who fled Ireland from british oppression through the 19th century(they were called "the Wild Geese"). France gave them refuge and rewarded them for services to the french military with land, which many of them developed as vignobles. Most notably is the Hennessey cognac brand, renowned throughout the world. Theres another town you should visit (Cognac-north of Bordeaux), and take in all those great cognac houses: Remy Martin, Courvoisier, Martell and of course Hennessey. The Hennessey house is still connected to that famous irish family, they originated from Cork, the current CDG carries the Hennessey name and probably a great, great (maybe another great?)grandson of the original wild goose.

Hearty Applause!
Félicitations! Il t'a fallu plus de quatre mois pour prendre ta carte de séjour?? Oh, mamma mia! Nous le devons faire aussi en Italie; je l'ai domandé il y a deux semaines (il me faut suivre presque dix mesures administratives), mais je ne l'ai pas encore reçu. Peut-être je l'aurai avant que je parte d'ici. Allors, j'aimais ta petite histoire, et je ne peux pas attendre notre rendezvous en Turquie!!

Very interesting. We, the French students of sciences po, are really curious to know what the international students think of our school and city. Keep it up.

From a french that used to study in the states
Waow, that was a pretty deep and thorough amalysis of the french system/ society. As a french student that has been studying in the states, I am very interested in learning what an exchange student from the states might think of living/ studying in my hometown. Although the french really are (in)efficient - as you rightly put it Robyn - and have a slight tendency not to overwork, they do know how to enjoy life properly. Good luck for during your year in Paris, do learn french (you'll keep it for the rest of your life), and travel, travel, travel. Best to you. Adrien.

I sent you one and it's not up!
Robyn, I added a comment ages ago and it seems you have to accept them before they can be shown. Did you not like my comment is that why you are not accepting it? I miss you, a lot. Love Me x x x

Admissions - French Studnets
I am interested in hearing about the admissions process to Sciences Po if you are a french student, French, from a competitive Lycee, sitting for the Bac this year. Is there a personal interview, a written personal statement and should we just assume you really need to take a year of the prep classes to get in? Is there a stronger prep. school than others if your primary goal is Science Po? Thank you.
