Buildings &
Transportation Translations |
Public transportation in France and the French
speaking countries is quite comfortable, accessible and on time.
That is when they're not on strike, so you should keep abreast of
the local news in France if you're planning on taking a trip by
train in particular - so you won't be delayed or possibly stranded
in another city. If this should ever happen to you, have a
auto hire company phone number with you.
Libraries in France are not like ours where you get a library card
and check books out. In France you only have the use of the
books in the library. |
