Printable Calais-Southwest France Route Guide

SIMPLE ROUTE GUIDE FROM CALAIS TO SOUTHWEST FRANCE , via Rouen. Leave Calais on the A16 / E402 motorway following signs for Boulogne , Amiens. The motorway is a toll-motorway from Boulogne to Abbeville Just before Abbeville, take the free A28 / E402 motorway to Rouen . Rouen is sometimes a bit slow, but this is the only bit of hassle on the whole route, and the route is well signposted. ROUEN : At the entrance to Rouen the A28 becomes the N28. Follow on down through the tunnel, then across the Seine. After that, loop right 270° following signs for Paris and Evreux. It is Evreux (and /or Orleans) you are really following . You will join the A13 motorway west of Rouen. About 10 km south or Rouen, leave the A13 motorway for the A154 motorway direction Evreux, which then becomes the N154 dual carriageway . Keep following this road, past Evreux, almost to Dreux. Before Dreux , you have about 10 km on the N12 (straightforward, but sometimes busy). At the start of the town, leave the N12 following the signs for Chartres and Orleans. After Dreux, the N154 is almost all modern dual-carriageway as far as Chartres . Traffic normally flows freely on the relatively straight and flat single-carriageway section of the N154 from Chartres to the A10 toll motorway before Orleans. After joining the joining the A10 , it's motorway all the way. At Orleans , the A71 splits from the A10. There are three possible destinations: 1. Clermont Ferrand (for Languedoc and Mediterranean Spain) via A71 (toll) and A75 (free) This route is not recommended for cars with heavy caravans or in winter, as the A75 after Clermont Ferrand has - as well as the Millau Viaduct (toll) - several long steep hills, and a long stretch at up to 1100 metres altitude, that is often snowed up in winter. 2. Toulouse (for the Dordogne, central southwest France) via A71 to Vierzon, then the A20 (free until after Brive la Gaillarde). 3. Bordeaux (for southwest France and western Spain), via the A10 (toll). © About-France.com - Travel and tourism in France - http://about-france.com .

Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenze H5N1 in Poultry in France
Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Animal & Plant Health Agency Veterinary & Science Policy Advice Team - International Disease Monitoring Preliminary Outbreak Assessment Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza H5N1 in poultry in France 26 November 2015 Ref: VITT/1200 H5N1 HPAI in France Disease Report France has reported an outbreak of highly pathogenic avian influenza, H5N1 in backyard poultry (broilers and layer hens) in the Dordogne (OIE, 2015; see map). An increase in mortality was reported with 22 out of 32 birds dead and the others destroyed as a disease control measure. Samples taken on the 19th November confirmed HPAI. Other disease control measures have been implemented including 3km protection and 10km surveillance zones in line with Directive 2005/94/EC. This is an initial assessment and as such, there is still considerable uncertainty about the source of virus and where or when a mutation event occurred. However the French authorities have confirmed by sequence analysis that this is a European lineage virus (European Commission, 2015) and as such control measures are focussed on poultry. Situation Assessment The preliminary sequence of the strain indicates it is closely related to LPAI strains detected previously in Europe which are clearly distinguishable from contemporary strains associated with transglobal spread since 2003. H5N1 LPAI was last reported in France in 2009 in Calvados department in northern France in decoy ducks (ie tethered by hunters, and often in contact with wild birds). H5N1 LPAI viruses of the ‘classical’ European lineage have been isolated from both poultry and wild birds sporadically in Europe, but mutation to high pathogenicity of these strains is a rare event.

The Demarcation Line
No.7 “Remembrance and Citizenship” series THE DEMARCATION LINE MINISTRY OF DEFENCE General Secretariat for Administration DIRECTORATE OF MEMORY, HERITAGE AND ARCHIVES Musée de la Résistance Nationale - Champigny The demarcation line in Chalon. The line was marked out in a variety of ways, from sentry boxes… In compliance with the terms of the Franco-German Armistice Convention signed in Rethondes on 22 June 1940, Metropolitan France was divided up on 25 June to create two main zones on either side of an arbitrary abstract line that cut across départements, municipalities, fields and woods. The line was to undergo various modifications over time, dictated by the occupying power’s whims and requirements. Starting from the Spanish border near the municipality of Arnéguy in the département of Basses-Pyrénées (present-day Pyrénées-Atlantiques), the demarcation line continued via Mont-de-Marsan, Libourne, Confolens and Loches, making its way to the north of the département of Indre before turning east and crossing Vierzon, Saint-Amand- Montrond, Moulins, Charolles and Dole to end at the Swiss border near the municipality of Gex. The division created a German-occupied northern zone covering just over half the territory and a free zone to the south, commonly referred to as “zone nono” (for “non- occupied”), with Vichy as its “capital”. The Germans kept the entire Atlantic coast for themselves along with the main industrial regions. In addition, by enacting a whole series of measures designed to restrict movement of people, goods and postal traffic between the two zones, they provided themselves with a means of pressure they could exert at will.
