View More Tours In Provence 13 Desserts Of Noel In Provence An age old tradition in the life of a Provençal family, are enjoyed after Gros Souper, which is equivalent to our Christmas dinner. The origin of the Thirteen Desserts seems to be part of the tradition of opulence in the Mediterranean regions. Combined with the religious element, this tradition gave the Christmas season its festive character well before gifts inundated households. The thirteen desserts are in reference to Jesus and his twelve apostles at the Last Supper. As tradition goes, there must be at least thirteen sweets available. They are all served at once, and each guest must have at least a small bite of each dessert. Upon returning from Mass, the table was set with three tablecloths representing the Holy Trinity, upon which the Thirteen Desserts were set. Based on the symbolism of the Last Supper, with Jesus surrounded by his Apostles, tradition forbids seating 13 people at the dinner table… but the rule doesn’t apply to food! Out of this Provençal tradition, we have ended up with a few mainstays and a thousand and one local adaptations.

This paper aims to describe different aspects of critical care in the FTA. For this, we reviewed official 25 information about population size and intensive care unit (ICU) bed capacity in the FTA and literature on FTA ICU specificities. Persons living in or visiting the FTA are exposed to specific risks, mainly severe road traffic 26 injuries, envenoming, stab or ballistic wounds, and emergent tropical infectious diseases. These diseases may 27 require specific knowledge and critical care management. However, there are not enough ICU beds in the FTA. 28 Indeed, there are 7.2 ICU beds/100 000 population in Guadeloupe, 7.2 in Martinique, and 4.5 in French Gui- 29 ana. In addition, seriously ill patients in remote areas regularly have to be transferred, most often by helicopter, 30 resulting in a delay in admission to intensive care.

  • Corsica and Paris
    Hiking in Corsica and a Visit to Paris, September 2018 Corsica … hmmm … from some friends we received blank stares when Corsica was mentioned as our upcoming hiking destination; from others the name Napoleon tumbled out. Yes, Napoleon Bonaparte was indeed born on the island of Corsica in the city of Ajaccio in 1769. What makes the timing particularly interesting is that France had acquired Corsica from the Italian city-state of Genoa only the year before (1768) … what impact on history, especially the history of France, would there have been if Napoleon had been born an Italian? The island of Corsica sits in the Mediterranean Sea south-east of France’s southern coastline and the city of Nice (it is actually closer to the coastline of Italy than France). At roughly 3,351 square miles in size, it is about 30% smaller than the state of Connecticut. Corsica’s population is approximately 330,000. MTS Trip Day 1 – Arrival in Ajaccio, Corsica: We flew into Corsica’s capital city, Ajaccio, located on its western coast, on a sunny Saturday afternoon (a quick flight from Paris where we had overnighted at an airport hotel to begin the process of adjusting to a local time 8 hours ahead of Denver time). We were met at the airport by Alex, the lead guide of the Mountain Travel Sobek (MTS) hiking trip, Corsica: Hiking the Island of Beauty, scheduled to start that evening. After a short drive, we settled into our seaside hotel before meeting up with the rest of the group for a welcome dinner at a nearby restaurant.

  • Corsica-Sardinia
    Corsica &Sardinia The Essence of Italy and France The Mediterranean is full of unique experiences and cultures, but none compare to a luxury yacht charter through Corsica, France and Sardinia, Italy. The two islands encompass all these two infamous countries have to offer with its own distinctive flavor. Created by violent volcanic eruptions, Corsica boasts the most mountainous region of the Med, and is nicknamed the “scented island” for the intoxicating perfumes that fill the air. Sailors and hikers adore the unparalleled natural wonders of this stunning island, while tourists flock here for the rich history and legendary beaches. Further south is Sardinia – a unique island with its own natural wonders set against wild landscapes, hidden rocky coves, and the much-vaunted Costa Smeralda. But here, past the dazzling beaches, there’s a playground for the wealthy and a flourishing nigh life – which includes the “Polynesia of Italy,” Porto Cervo. Aboard your luxury yacht, there is no better way to experience Corsica’s scenic charm and Sardinia’s authentic style. Calvi, Corsica The first stop on your dream voyage begins in the enchanting port of Calvi – a fun-loving, cobble- stoned village that was once used as a Roman trading post. Often compared to the French Riviera, Calvi’s striking beauty hits you hardest as you glide past the monumental 13th century citadel, which has a breathtaking backdrop of rugged mountains and pine forest. You’ll find plenty of relaxed eateries to indulge and discover along the quai Landry – a lovely seafront walkway. On the south side, you’ll find a separate world of sand and sun.

  • France Background
    The World Factbook Europe :: France Introduction :: France Background: France today is one of the most modern countries in the world and is a leader among European nations. It plays an influential global role as a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council, NATO, the G-8, the G-20, the EU and other multilateral organizations. France rejoined NATO's integrated military command structure in 2009, reversing de Gaulle's 1966 decision to take French forces out of NATO. Since 1958, it has constructed a hybrid presidential-parliamentary governing system resistant to the instabilities experienced in earlier, more purely parliamentary administrations. In recent decades, its reconciliation and cooperation with Germany have proved central to the economic integration of Europe, including the introduction of a common currency, the euro, in January 1999. In the early 21st century, five French overseas entities - French Guiana, Guadeloupe, Martinique, Mayotte, and Reunion - became French regions and were made part of France proper. Geography :: France Location: metropolitan France: Western Europe, bordering the Bay of Biscay and English Channel, between Belgium and Spain, southeast of the UK; bordering the Mediterranean Sea, between Italy and Spain French Guiana: Northern South America, bordering the North Atlantic Ocean, between Brazil and Suriname Guadeloupe: Caribbean, islands between the Caribbean Sea and the North Atlantic Ocean, southeast of Puerto Rico Martinique: Caribbean, island between the Caribbean Sea and North Atlantic Ocean,
