Carcassonne

The most beautiful fortified French town is Carcassonne.The town is separated into the fortified Cité de Carcassonne and the more expansive lower city, the ville basse.

Narbonne

Narbonne is a village in the southern France in the Languedoc Roussillon region.
In this town there is one of the famous national monument of France : the Narbonne Cathedral St.Just and St.Pasteur. The St-Just and St-Pasteur Cathedral (Narbonne Cathedral) and the neighboring Archbishop' Palace form a unique architectural ensemble.The architecture of the cathedral is Gothic style. It remains unfinished since the laying of the first stone in 1272. The plans required the partial demolition of the town wall, but the town council, fearing English invasion, refused to allow it. This, coupled with wars and epidemics, has left Narbonne Cathedral with only the choir and transept completed.
The town architecture is typique of south of France.

Earth Hour 2009

For the first time in history, people of all ages, nationalities, race and background have the opportunity to use their light switch to save energy for few minutes. The goal of this action is to determine official government policies to take action against global warming, which will replace the Kyoto Protocol. It is the chance for the people of the world to make their voice heard.
I hope that the people of Rodez (France) will join today this movement.
VOTE EARTH by simply switching off your lights for one hour, and join the world for Earth Hour.
