Willkommen/bienvenue/welcome- to the Marquis page!
Although I'm sure you know this site, I'm publishing it here because of changes to French Road Signs, which may confuse the one or the other of you! The reason for the change (which you can read about on this page) is that in France, "N" Roads are financed by the State, and "D" roads by the Department concerned.

They started in the North - I wonder why? You all know that all roads in France lead eventually to the area of "Mr le Marquis" anyway!
(mr. le Marquis)
A confirmed and adjured European.

Some are criss-crossed by main roads, some have public golf courses, some have tennis courts, both in concrete and in grass.... The special thing about these 'Commons' is their size....They are immense. In pure ground value they must be worth billions of billions of pounds sterling, and yet there is rarely any attack made on their status. It is rather astounding! Just for the record, there is another, ...
