  Alais - LoveToKnow 1911
ALAIS, a town of southern France, capital of an arrondissement in the department of Gard, 25 m.
The streets are wide and its promenades and fine plane-trees make the town attractive; but the public buildings, the chief of which are the church of St Jean, a heavy building of the 18th century, and the citadel, which serves as barracks and prison, are of small interest.
Alais has tribunals of first instance and of commerce, a board of trade-arbitrators, a lycee and a school of mines.

Alais, frustrated by the slow and tiresome life at the French court, agrees to run the errand, but when she reaches Canterbury, she finds not only the letters missing but a trail of dead bodies in her wake.
Alais is reluctant, but Eleanor dangles an irresistible carrot in front of her: a promise of information about the whereabouts of Alais' illegitimate child.
Princesse Alais was betrothed at a young age to Prince Richard and therefore grew up in the court of Henry and Eleanor, as their "stepdaughter" and companion to the princes.

 Alphonse Daudet - LoveToKnow 1911
In 1856 he left Lyons, where his schooldays had been mainly spent, and began life as an usher at Alais, in the south.
As Dickens declared that all through his prosperous career he was haunted in dreams by the miseries of his apprenticeship to the fling business, so Daudet says that for months after leaving Alais he would wake with horror thinking he was still among his unruly pupils.
On the 1st of November 1857 he abandoned teaching, and took refuge with his brother Ernest, only some three years his senior, who was trying, "and thereto soberly," to make a living as a journalist in Paris.

One of the debtors was Alais Capet, the daughter of Louis VII of France with his second wife - the one he married after he divorced Eleanor for her infidelities and she ran off with Henry of Anjou, soon to be Henry II of England.
Alais came to live in the English court as a child because she was betrothed to one of Henry II's sons with Eleanor, Richard, the one we know today as the Lionheart.
Alais might be a minor figure in the history books, but Judith Koll Healey imagines her as a star - and a worthy foil to Eleanor - in her assured and wholly entertaining suspense novel, "The Canterbury Papers."

One of the debtors was Alais Capet, the daughter of Louis VII of France with his second wife -- the one he married after he divorced Eleanor for her infidelities and she ran off with Henry of Anjou, soon to be Henry II of England...
Brave, outspoken, and passionate, Alais was a real historical figure, sister to the king of France and also, somewhat shockingly, mistress to Henry II (her stepfather) while Eleanor was locked up in the tower at Sarum...
The story, set in the early 1200s, is narrated by Princess Alais Capet, a bored and somewhat bitter member of the French nobility, long passed over for both matrimony and higher status...

Alais is the third son of a small shopkeeping family on the Rock.
Alais' family put the two problems together and decided to have him tutor the boy.
Now the next logical step would have been for Alais to go to a university, but there wasn't any on Bral, and whenever Alais tried to talk to visiting academics, he always got into a fight because he insisted on dragging in the odd things the old wizard had taught him.

It was re-established as a separate diocese in 1821 and a Brief of 27 April, 1877, grants to its bishops the right to add Alais and Uzès to their episcopal style, these two dioceses being now combined with that of Nîmes.
The future Cardinal de Bausset, Bossuet's biographer was Bishop of Alais from 1784 to 1790.

 The Lion in Winter Characters
Alais (pronounced ‘‘Alice’’) Capet is the mistress of King Henry II of England and the sister of King Philip II of France.
Alais is a beautiful twentythree- year-old woman who has been Henry’s mistress since she was sixteen years old.
In a treaty between France and England that was made when she was a young girl, Alais was promised in marriage to whichever of Henry’s sons he names as his successor.

 The Royal Pawn
As Louis' daughter, Alais was a bargaining chip in the dynastic wars that dominated Europe.
When Alais came to Henry's court, Eleanor had already been imprisoned for 4 years, and one wonders what kind of role model the young princess had in that masculine court.
In any case, by 1183, the 13 year-old Alais would have been considered old enough for marriage, and old enough to be attractive to the aging king.

 The Canterbury Papers By Judith Koll Healey
If Alais will retrieve some secret letters from Canterbury, Eleanor will reward her with information she knows Alais desperately wants.
Unable to resist the offer, even though she knows Eleanor better than to wholly trust what she says, Alais arrives at Canterbury and finds herself in the middle of a web of plots and intrigues, deceptions and danger well beyond what even she had imagined.
Both out of present conflicts between the Templars and Eleanor's son King John, and out of her own past, full of people and events that turn out to have been not quite what she thought they were.

Now Alais, along with help from the very intriguing leader of the Knights Templar, must unravel a tangled web of family secrets and lies.

Alais is saying, "Sir, I wish to investigate this present matter among other spacefarers, and I think a tavern the best place to do this.
He is fairly certain Victor's men had not seen any of them on board, as ibn Fadil said they'd already left before things got interesting, but he maintains his adopted persona and disguise nonetheless.
It would be to the good for an _accurate_ version of the story to be in the rounds, sans his own direct involvement and the perfidy of the giff.

This is a collection of 30 photos showing the highlights of the Fête Aérienne (air fete), which took place at the Aérodrome de Cerny - La Ferté Alais, near Paris, on 11 June 2000.
Located just south of Paris, the airfield at Cerny is home to the centre of French warbird and vintage aircraft restoration activity - the equivalent of Duxford and Shuttleworth rolled into one.
Cerny is a normally a very quiet grass airfield in rolling tree-covered landscape, but once a year sees a gathering of rare and historic aircraft which are hardly ever seen outside of France.

Kill tasks are great but if you spend an hour searching for the goal, then you were probably better off killing blues/yellows.

Plus there are always people there looking to hunt werewolves in a group if you want to take a break from soloing.
