Russethouse Posted July 31, 2004 Share Posted July 31, 2004 This year the Quimper Club (see below) is meeting in Bath. The group (mainly Americans, some French) will be visiting Wells Cathedral, the 16th century home of an English member and Montacute House (Elizabethan). To put these places in context I thought it would be fun to put together a 'Time Line' with important dates from French, American and English History.So what dates, esp from French History, would you be sure to mention ?Gayhttp://www.quimperclub.org/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cjb Posted August 1, 2004 Share Posted August 1, 2004 You may find Mark Steel's "Vive la Revolution" really useful as it takes a very original and ammusing look at French history, and obviously the significance of the revolution itself.http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/search-handle-form/026-7415672-3916428Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
