Along with Rousseau, Lavosier, Descartes, Delacroix, Sartre, Camus, Renoir, Matisse, Balzac, Zola, Monet, Manet, Godard, Truffaut, Berlioz, Bizet, Debussy, Satie, Pasteur, Curie, Poincare, Ampere, Fermat, Pascal.... complete time wasters...

Did I rise to the bait?

..Geneva was a Hugenot republic at the time of Rousseau's birth and only became part of the Swiss Confederation in 1815.

Alors mon pote, Rousseau est français.

Henri Rousseau the arist was born and bred French.

Thus avoiding the whole Swiss / not Swiss / Huguenot problem.

Very disappointing remakes of the Pink Panther with Steve Martin as the bungling detective.

Peter Sellars was the original and best..and he is not French either,just for the record.

... was an orchard, a cow of some sort and an amiable wife. He got the orchard but a grumpy wife who brought her mum. I can't recall anything about the cow, apart from the fact it's dead now. If indeed it were ever alive. A bit like the badger I ran over near Erlestoke last night.

Anyway, je repose ma valise. Il etait un passe-temps.
