I'm a massive Pink Floyd fan - I was chatting to a friend who lives in Istanbul and he seen Roger Waters play there last week and now I hear that he's coming to Paris on Bastille Day! Because the concert's being held at the Grand Prix track, you even get access to watch the drivers practicing through the day, with the concert being held in the evening. More info at this link: http://www.rogerwaters2006.com/ Who else is coming along???  It's only 90 minutes on the TGV from Tours to Montparnasse in Paris! Have a good day!Sungirl

Has anybody got a favourite traditional French restaurant/bistro near to Usse. Reasonable prices? Somewhere I can take my friends when they arrive, for great French food! Cheers,Daisy

Anyone know of any St Georges Day events in the region?  It seems there're always events for St Patricks Day, St Andrews Day and even St David's Day but never St Georges Day. Any English bars doing anything, perhaps in Tours? If not, we must organise something for 2007! Cheers,Bobby
