After weeks of deiting made me look no thinner. So I decided to let out my dresses. Afterwards , the comments were wonderful. "You are losing weight," my friends told me. "Your clothes just hang on you."

This great monument of white stone, on which are inscribed 11,285 names of "missing" Canadian soliders, marks the site of the battle of Vimy ridge that Canadians were to remember with great pride after WWl. Many regard this as the birth of Canada as an independent Nation. The land for the battlefield park (250 acres) was "the free gift in perpetuity of the French nation to the people of Canada". The Vimy Canadian Memerioal is considered as Canada's most impressive tribute overseas to those Canadians who fought and gave their lives in the First World War. The interpretive Centre has an exhibition about Canada's involvement in WWl. Telephone: 00 33 (0)3 21 50 68 68 Vimy.Memerioal@vac.acc.gc.ca www.memorialvirtuel.gc.ca

Boulogne, France's premier has been awarded the status of "Town of Art and History" and indeed a gem. The fortified old town still contains its original city wall, a basilica and a chateau museum. The National Sea Discovery Centre (Nausicaa) is situated on the quayside, where you can stroll along and watch the stallholders selling an amazing variety of fresh fish.
