Cette semaine, j'ai surtout aimé la leçon
supplémentaire d'Instant Lessons
***pour nous remercier de les utiliser et une petite vidéo électorale 'I
like Ike'***. Elle nécessite le chargement et l'installation de Shockwave,
mais le résultat vaut l'effort!
Bonne semaine à tous!

current family, information on the palaces of the royal family, a special
section on the restoration of Windsor Castle after a near disastrous fire,
and the Royal Collection, one of the finest collections of paintings,
books, furniture, glassware, and, yes, even the crown jewels. There is
also a section with links to other sites that have ties to the monarchy.
