The Variable Rate, a trap...

In the United States, many people have borrowed from banks at a low rate to become the owners of a house.
They did not know that the reimbursement rate was not fixed but variable up to 14%. The poorest could no longer repay, they found themselves ruined and expelled. Whole districts became unoccupied, and empty houses were worth the price of a movie ticket.

The Cave of Lascaux

On Sunday, September 12th, we celebrated the 70 years of the discovery of the Lascaux cave.
But this place is disappearing little by little because it has many mushrooms and many molds!!!
This place is 18.000 years old.

The French football team

There was no victory at the 2008 European competition for the French team.
We thought of an improvement in South Africa but it wasn’t the case.
The former world champion Laurent Blanc was able to motivate his team, and it won against the Bosnian team.
We hope the Blues will continue to sing the “Marseillaise” and run.
