Tour de France - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Tour de France, in contrast, has long been a household name around the globe, even amongst people who are not generally interested in pro cycling, and is for cycling what the FIFA World Cup is to football in terms of global popularity. Promotion of the Tour de France certainly proved a great success for the newspaper; circulation leapt from 25,000 before the 1903 Tour to 65,000 after it; in 1908 the race boosted circulation past a quarter of a million, and during the 1923 Tour it was selling 500,000 copies a day. The idea for a round-France stage race is also credited to one of his journalists, Géo Lefèvre, with whom Desgrange had lunch at the Café de Madrid in Paris on 20 November 1902. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Tour_de_France

Île-de-France It means, literally, "Isle of France": this is taken as meaning the inland peninsula delimited by the Oise, Seine, Ourcq and Marne rivers. The name first appears in 1387, replacing the older "Pays de France" when the word pays began to mean nation rather than region. The area around Paris was the original personal domain of the King of France, as opposed to areas ruled by feudal lords of whom he was the suzerain. www.bidprobe.com /en/wikipedia/i/il/ile_de_france.html

Ile-de-France itself, which had been enlarged through the acquisition by the crown of various fiefs, was at that time constituted into a province subject to the parlement of Paris. When Hugh Capet, duke of France and count of Paris, was chosen as the French king in 987, his domains became the nucleus of the ever-growing crown land, which by the time of the death of Louis XI (1483) comprised the major part of present-day France. reference.allrefer.com /encyclopedia/I/IledeFraFr.html

Ile de France Ile de France cross-bred females are high in demand due to their fertility, good milk production and outstanding mothering ability. The Ile de France lamb has excellent growth abilities and with good nutrition, weights of between 19 and 22 kg at 42 days and between 34 and 41 kg at 100 days can easily be achieved. Hence the popularity of the Ile de France and Ile de France cross lambs - it enables the producer of slaughter lambs to market lambs from as early as 100 days and, therefore, more ewes can be kept on the same size of pasture. studbook.co.za /Society/france

FRANCE: Le Tour de France Le Tour de France is so littered with hyper-drugs (ones that help you perform and others that cover up those drugs) and such extreme training that now the best competitors, Lance for example, only do that one race a year. It is a coffee table book that expresses France's nostalgia with the machine of the sport instead of how an American might make a historic win in their beloved sport next year. Here are some French views about Le Tour:I have just had a French friend in town (extremely connected with Le Tour) who was explaining that even the _French_ athletes find the current race too ultimate, so many are choosing not to compete; they are amateurs doing without the yellow jersey. www.stanford.edu /group/wais/France/france_letourdefrance72703.html

SS Ile De France The Ile de France would herald the inception of the modernistic Art Deco designs into passenger shipbuilding and would be the forerunner for the artistic influence which would give birth to the Normandie of later years. The aft dummy funnel was forever and the Ile de France was evermore a two funneled liner. The Ile would serve the British and American interests until September 1945, when she was decommissioned by the British. www.ocean-liners.com /ships/ile.asp

The Classic Liners of Long Ago - Ile de France Ile de France was launched on March 14, 1926 at the Penhoët Shipyards in St. Nazaire. When the Japanese scrappers picked up the Ile de France, the Japanese flag was raised, and she was renamed the Furansu Maru for her final trip to Osaka, where she was to be scrapped. The Ile de France was one of the most revolutionary, modern, and beautiful liners when it came to interior decor. ocean-liners.schuminweb.com /ships/ile-de-france.asp

Ile-de-France (Traditional province, France) The territory which was later known as pays de France was much smaller than modern France, being limited in the south by the rivers Seine and Marne, in the west by the river Oise, in the north by the river Thève and in the east by the river Beuvronne. The fleur-de-lys of the banner of France are shown in the banner of arms of some French traditional provinces which were given by the king to one of his brothers as his apanage (Artois, Anjou, Berry etc.). It included the former feudal domains of pays de France, Parisis, Goële, Brie française (the other part of Brie belonged to Champagne and was called Brie champenoise), Gâtinais, Hurepoix, Pincerais, Mantois, Vexin français (the other part of Vexin belonged to Normandy and was called Vexin normand), pays de Thelle, Noyonnais, Soissonnais, Sellentois, Valois and Laonnais. fotw.vexillum.com /flags/fr-if.html

DVD.net : Le Tour De France - 2003 The Highlights - DVD Review Le Tour de France is one of the most popular, and certainly one the most scenically beautiful, sporting events in the world; it’s a crying shame given what could have been. This exclusion aside, SBS’ release of Le Tour De France - 2003 The Highlights is a wonderful video document of the centenary tour and, despite less than impressive video quality, delivers all the excitement of the most closely fought Tour in recent history. From the break-up of the feed with static and horizontal noise, to the temporary loss of signal and blurry, indistinct backgrounds filled with video grain, the full-frame image on offer for the majority of the coverage is exceedingly average. www.dvd.net.au /review.cgi?review_id=3129

AskOxford: Le Jardin de France In 1491, the annexation of Brittany by the Kingdom of France was taken for granted as soon as Charles VIII and young duchess Anne de Bretagne married in Château de Langeais, a dark feudal fort with a drawbridge and massive towers. Honoré de Balzac, born in Tours and educated in Vendôme, was also deeply in love with his native country, which played a notable part in his novels. The incursion of Château de Cheverny into literature was particularly unexpected: when Tintin's "father", Hergé, caught sight on the castle, he was so impressed by its classical harmony that he asked the owner permission to take it as a model for Moulinsart, Captain Haddock's mansion. www.askoxford.com /languages/culturevulture/france/jardindefrance
