| Post subject: | "The France Must Be Saved," says Le Figaro |
The Paris newspaper, Le Figaro, has an article about the impending demise of the SS Norway nee France. The article, the cover story in its weekend magazine calls the ship a French cultural monument on a par with the Eiffel Tower. According to the article a group of preservationists in and around its birthplace, St. Nazaire is pressuring the government to step in. I have no idea how this will play out. But I am glad to know that someone in France cares about their greatest ocean liner. I hope it is not too late. For those of you who would like to read the article in French, here is the link.http://www.lefigaro.fr/magazine/20050304.MAG0005.html |
