Re: Game - the Geography Game
B, please, no one is ignorant. You know many things about your country, that I don't know and you share it, always a pleasure to read you. France is like all countries, many landscapes, many rivers, many gorgeous islands near from the "France" or far away like Guadeloup or Polynesia.
I had the chance to begin travelling very young. As i have 2 months, my parents took me already on the Isle of Rhé and as I was 6 months old, we were in Germany. I give me the chance to travel a lot, anytime, every where. I am so curious of every where. For example, that you are not ignorant, but I am... I was in California in November but never heard about Escondido... So you see
So my turn... and a little french history" with ...
ORLEANS
This town is located in north-central France, about 111 kilometres (69 miles) southwest of Paris. Joan of Arc, the maid of Orleans, to have received visions of the Archangel Michael, Saint Margaret, and Saint Catherine of Alexandria instructing her to support Charles VII and recover France from English domination late in the Hundred Years' War. The uncrowned King Charles VII sent Joan to the siege of Orléans as part of a relief mission. She gained prominence after the siege was lifted only nine days later.
And I has suched... I was surprised to discover this :
"Orléans, Ontario and New Orleans, Louisiana (French: La Nouvelle-Orléans) are named after the city"

Re: Game - the Geography Game
Oh, wow, nice to know all that about "Orleans" and where "New Orleans" got its name.
Here is a city that starts with a "s":
St. Augustine A city on the Coast of Florida Founded in 1565 by Spanish explorers, it is the oldest continuously inhabited European-established settlement within the borders of the continental United States.
Some photos from St. Augustine:

Re: Game - the Geography Game
