In 1765 a Parisian soup-vendor named Boulanger (which, confusingly, means Baker) put up a sign outside his shop reading: VENITE AD ME VOS QUI STOMACHO LABORATIS ET **EGO RESTAURABO** VOS //Come to me, all who labor in the stomach, and I will restore you.// The idea of serving individual meals to customers who could sit down and eat them on the spot was, amazingly, very new; so the restorative aspect of Boulanger's innovation was incorporated into the name for this type of establishment.

It is the most important aspect of this page, it will be your input. This is your wiki, and I am therefore counting on you to make it interesting! I ask that each student set up his or her own account. Remember, your user names must be unique and easily identified by me. You may use only your first name if you wish, but I must be able to identify you, i.e., which John, which Jessica? You may want to begin your user name with your level of French, or period. For example, French2badri would be for Bernard Adri in the French 2 class. Let me know if you have any problems!

Merci à tous qui se sont inscrit sur cette espace! J'espère que vous aller profiter de ces pages pour vous amuser et pour apprendre un peu de français en même temps.

This might be a new section entitled: Est-ce que vous saviez? --with various random tidbits of information in french, culled from various websites, books, etc. What do you think?

 * La Sardine** Ce petit poisson, dont la légende dit qu’il aurait bouché le port de Marseille, est très abondant dans la Méditerranée et l’océan Atlantique. Il doit son nom à la **Sardaigne**, île méditerranéenne dépendant de l’**Italie**. Les Romains et les Grecs l’appelait en effet //poisson de Sardaigne//.

Cécilia et Nicolas Sarkozy ont annoncé jeudi leur "séparation par consentement mutuel", une situation totalement inédite pour un président français, mettant ainsi fin à plusieurs mois de rumeurs et de spéculations. Le divorce! ...les pauvres.
