21d is 'relais routier'

[Catron]

Googling would have found all these answers. How sad that you had to give up so easily with still a fortnight to go before the closing date. If one person can find the answers, have you thought that you should be able to also?

Oh terribly sorry about that .I do apologise 08012006 . Good job the pedants are checking up on me as per usual :)).
Good at checking up on people and carping but not friendly enough to share their answers says a lot for the world we live in.
Good Luck .

Absolutely agree, shaneystar2.

I wonder sometimes why people who are obviously not into offering answers and who, presumably, are never in need of them, spend their time hanging around sites iike this.

Presumably it's to indulge in the national sport of moaning, whingeing, carping and belittling other people.

And to strut their funky stuff as superior beings, whose place is to tell us lesser mortals how to behave.
