Quizzing

[Lucienne]

It's bucketing out there so I'm doing a quiz. All done bar three. Any help would be lovely, thank you.
1. She married Kings of England and France, which Royal was this?
2. Which hazardous geographical feature, six miles off Deal, has caused trouble for unwary sailors throughout history?
3. The Summer Residence of the President of France is located at? Could this be Fort de Bregancon?

1 Eleanor of Aquitaine ?? Not sure, though, wait for confirmation

[JCL53]

2 The Goodwin Sands

[ladyalex]

I think no 3 is the Palace of Rambouillet , but again, wait for confirmation

[shannee]

Summer residenece is Fort de Br�gan�on

[shannee]

Eleanor was Queen consort of both France (to Louis VII) and England (to Henry II) in turn

3. I think this is the Chateau de Rambouillet.

[ladyalex]

wikipedia says Chateau/palace de Rambouillet

[shannee]

both are used - rambouillet seems the official one!

Thank you all very much. You've saved my husband's life...I can now go and feed him!!!!

[shannee]

as is the inaccurate way of Wikepedia .... another page therein says Fort de Br�gan�on

I think some people may be thinking Official residence as distinct from Summer residence.
