Introduction and rationale..and how to steal this content.

A rather nice Government group called the Asia Education Foundation gave out some money to 33 French teachers to go to France in January 2007, to better understand the culture and enlarge their vocabularies. A ten day language course at CAVILAM (language school) in the pretty town of Vichy came first, then trips to wineries, castles, schools and finally trips to Lyon and then Paris.

By the time it was all over we needed a holiday from our holiday..but it was great to have done it. So thanks, Endeavour Fellowship folk, and may your grant money continue to flow.

You’re welcome to use, borrow, refer to, and show these photos. (If you sell them that is another matter, and if you want to do that you will need to pay me a lot of ca$h, but we can discuss that…)

However, the average busy French teacher looking for closeups of food, signage, scenery, and schools, and wondering what exactly these folk get up to will find plenty of content here.

The art of stealing is simple. Pix show as thumbnails in the text. L click on the picture and it will enlarge a lot. Wait a second or two for the orange box to appear on the bottom R corner of the picture, L click that, and it will redouble in size. To save, take the picture out to full size, R click, and follow the prompts in the dialog box. You can put them on a CD or data storage chip (as jpegs is easiest) and the photo shops can print them out for you.

Each picture is 1 Mb, which is fine for turning into 5 by 7 photos or using in web apps; just don’t try to print them out poster size…they aren’t very crisp at that level.

Now this site only holds 50 Mb which with text is about 45 pix. So I am putting in ’ the best of’ in each category. If you want to send me pix I am happy to get them! Just email to

…but don’t send more than 1 Mb in any file or the server will choke on it.
