I have a fat guidebook for France but I don't even know where to begin, so some suggestions would be wonderful. :) & when is the best time to visit? Is it still pretty crowded with tourists at the end of August or would September be better for a quieter trip?

Hi there I am looking for people who live in Blois, we consider to move there and would like find some more information about the region. Or maybe even meet people who live there and make some friends. We are 4 people family so we interested in any information about schools, jobs, culture events there etc. Will be grateful for any answers. Thanks De

I come from Italy. When I was young, I married a well off Frenchman and moved to France. I was then very slim and pretty. In France, many people envied me, but my life was not a picnic. When I arrived, I found out that my husband lived with a woman, Catherine Henriette, and she stayed in our house and refused to move out! And, my husband refused to throw her out. It was terrible, but then, I managed to get rid of her. But, even afterwards, my husband was unfaithful to me. We had six children, but my son Nicholas died when he was four, and it was a terrible loss for me. Then, my husband was stubbed to death on a Parisian street during daylight! Following his death, all his relatives conspired to take his patrimony off my children, and I had to fight for it. When, at last, my children grew up, my son Gaston set against his brother Louis, and, again, there were fights and quarrels. Then my son turned against me (thanks to his new advisor Armand Jean), and I went to live in Blois, in complete wilderness. Of course, such life took a toil on me, and I turned to food for consolation. I eat to forget and to calm myself down. I grew up rather... large. My health suffered. So, I decided to stop eating, and it didn't help. Then I went on a fruit diet, eating fruit only (and cutting it with the silver knife which my husband gave me as a present, to have an additional motivation), but soon, stopped. My downfall is patisseries et confitures, which I eat all the time. I just can't resist! But, it can't go on like this, so what should I do?

I'm doing a project for french class and i can't find anything for this project! It's about France during the middle ages. It would be great if you could help me with these last two questions: the way of thinking in France during the middle ages the political ideas in France during the middle ages Any help i can get would be great! Thanks :D

I recently bought a train ticket from Paris to Tours, but I need to get to Blois. I tried looking for the bus information online, but didn't have any luck. Could someone help please? Thanks!
