On April 29th 2009, President Sarkozy of France announced a plan to expand Greater Paris all the way to the English Channel *. It involves a corridor from Paris to Le Havre followng the River Seine with a fast rail link.
I'm somewhat surprised and alarmed.
What would a Frenchman want to expand northwards (OK strictly north-westwards)?
- It's colder the further north one goes
- Much of the wine is in areas to the south of Paris.
There must be an ulterior motive: invasion perhaps ?
Should us Brits block the Channel tunnel's exit from France, leaving the entrance to France open?
What do you think?
