"Armistice Day is commemorated every year on November 11 to mark the armistice signed between the Allies of World War I and Germany at Compiègne, France, for the cessation of hostilities on the Western Front of World War I, which took effect at eleven o'clock in the morning—the "eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month" of 1918. The date was declared a national holiday in many allied nations, and coincides with Remembrance Day and Veterans Day,
public holidays." -Via Wikipedia
Barry A. Whittingham here, a Frenglishman and a blogger. I have spent most of my adult life as a British expat living in France. This Blogspot blog is one of the websites online where I tell my story. This includes some life lessons and everyday stories I trust you will find humorous. Perhaps you can learn a few things about the proper steps for planning a move to France. I also wish you the best with your own life endeavors and any "Frenglish Thoughts" you may entertain now or in the future.
