Advantages: really beautiful city, not so far from Paris.
Disadvantages: this is a city...

...Hi! This is my first op on this English Ciao website, and this is the reason why I chose to talk about the city I live in –Versailles. Yes, Versailles…in France. I’m a French girl studying the English language and Civilisation, and since I’ve really appreciated reading your opinions for a time, now I’ve taken the decision to join and write my own. So if you notice some grammatical mistakes or vocabulary ones, do not hesitate to tell me, I’ll be delighted to improve myself. Well, in fact I don’t really live in Versailles, but in the city just next to it; my flat is at the borderline between Viroflay and Versailles. Most of my activities take place in Versailles. I’ve been to highschool there, I often go shopping in Versailles, or made sport there, I also love to drive... Read review

...Having visited the castle of Versailles, I am desired to further push my curiosity from this place of.history. I buy the CD-Rom of game which the name is : VERSAILLES, plot at the court of the sun king. I like much this game and I remake it with regular interval with always as much of pleasure. The palate in which you will move that of 1685 reconstituted very well thanks to technology 3D. Graphics are exceptional and give impression which we visit the rooms of the true castle of Versailles. The sound is a music but which with long tired the one but anything prevents you from cutting the music. The music is different according to the place where you are. In this game, all is realized to incite the gamer to visit this historical place later on. The goal of the game is like its name to thwart a plot: to put the hand... Read review

Advantages: Refreshing & an array of exotic smells/Excellent Packaging/
Disadvantages: Pretty expensive/Bottle tends to finish quick

...First came the designer clothes, then came the designer sunglasses and now it’s all about the fragrances. Versace`s creative genius is also expressed through his unique scented and colourful fragrances ~ Blue Jeans & Red Jeans was first introduced in 1994 it was the first of many to trigger off the Versace “Jeans” series, a series of fragrances that were made to compliment his designer jeans label. Since the launch of Blue Jeans back in 1994, Versace have introduced the following fragrances: ••Red Jeans•• Launched in 1994 ••Green Jeans•• Launched in 1996 ••Yellow Jeans•• Launched in 1996 ••White Jeans•• Launched in 1997 ••Black Jeans•• Launched 1997 ••Baby Blue & Baby Rose Jeans•• Introduced in 1995 An array of colourful bottles, a unique distinction of the Versace fragrance collection ~ The jeans myth has become...

Advantages: Cheap, excellent range, good quality
Disadvantages: Few branches

...I visited the White Rose Centre a few weeks back for a good old shop. I tend to go once every couple of months and spend a hundred or so on new clothes. I must admit though, I usually stick to Topman, and one might call me conservative in that sense, as I usually stick to the shops that I know. But anyway, a browse couldn't harm could it?.. so in I went. ----------- Clothes ----------- The shop specialises in Jeans, hence the name, however there was actually a much wider stock of clothes in the shop. They had T Shirts, hoodies, cardigans and even other types of trousers, like cords. The designs were really modern and stylish, similiar to those of highstreet names like Topman. They lacked going out shirts, so to speak, its more casual every day clothes than night out clothes. Their collection of jeans was most impressive... Read review

Advantages: Beautiful landscapes, great acting, compelling story
Disadvantages: You have to see the next film to complete the story!

...Jean De Florette and Manon Des Sources, both from 1986, are two of the best-loved and most celebrated films in French cinema. They're adapted from the "L'Eau De Collines" books written by Marcel Pagnol, and really it's best to see them as two parts of the same story, rather than as the original film and its sequel. Jean De Florette won a whole heap of Bafta nominations in that year, and strangely it won Best Film overall yet missed out on Best Foreign Film! However it wasn't even nominated for an Oscar, which is a shame. It tells the tragic story of two greedy farmers in the French countryside. César Soubeyran (played by Yves Montard) and his nephew, Ugolin (Daniel Auteuil) want to grow carnations in their soil, and thus make a comfortable living. However, they don't have enough water, so they offer to buy the land of a neighbour... Read review

Advantages: Smells Nice, Lasts A Long Time and Good Price
Disadvantages: None

...I wear many perfumes, but Versace Red Jeans is the one that I'm 'known' for wearing. I have Burberrys, Far Away, Wink, Charlie Red and Glow. I wear perfume everyday; it's like a habit to put it on when I'm dressed in the morning. When I was at school, I'd wear a different one everyday, and because you wear your jumper for 5 days, it used to smell of loads of different perfumes by the end of the week. If I put on Far Away, my friends would say, 'that's not your smell' and if I put on Red Jeans, they'd all say, 'I can smell Stacey!' Anyways, after telling you that, I'll get on with the review. VERSACE: We have heard of Gianni Versace. Fashion Designer to the stars, he first started designing clothes in 1972. He first designed clothes for the theatre, where he was very much respected. In 1982 he made a great line... Read review

Advantages: An amazing film.
Disadvantages: None in my opinion - subtitles might put some off though (which is a shame)

...The reason for the 'première partie' is that this review is split into two reviews: what I'm actually reviewing is the one story - L'eau des Collines, comprising of Jean de Florette and Manon des Sources. Background: I think it's fair to say that many films have come about because of a novel. However, how often can you say that a film has then gone on to inspire a book? 'Manon des Sources' was perhaps one of the first films to inspire a book. Now this is where it gets a bit confusing, because the 'Manon des Sources' I'm refering to is the original, made in 1952 by Marcel Pagnol, who had made a name for himself in the 1930s as one of France's most successful and respected independent film makers, with films such as 'Topaze,' 'César,' and 'La Femme du Boulanger'. In the original version of the film, Pagnol tells the story that had... Read review

Advantages: A masterly diverse journey through musical styles
Disadvantages: None

...Wyclef Jean “The Ecleftic - 2 Sides II A Book” Columbia After falling in love with a masterly piece of R&B called “911”, my girlfriend told me that she must buy the song, despite not knowing the artists. So being a top guy like I am (and knowing how to bank loads of browny points) off I went to my local CD shop and invested in Wyclef Jean’s “The Ecleftic - 2 Sides II A Book” on the strength of one song. With that sort of ‘look what I’ve done for you darling” smugness on my face I played the tune on my Kenwood and instantly went up a couple of levels in her good book. (Pathetic I know, but it worked). I then played the whole CD and sat astonished at what I was listening to. A piece of musical brilliance. Whether you are a hip-hop fan or not, if you admire good music and pure talent you will appreciate this offering from... Read review

Advantages: Long Lasting Fresh Fragrance at a Good Price
Disadvantages: I honestly cant think of any !!!

...Versace Blue Jeans is one of my favourite Cologne's. Although i do have a lot of favourites fragrances. Blue Jeans is one i am never without becuase i like it so much. The Packaging - The Fragrance comes in a rather nice Solid Blue Tin with the Versace logo on it. The Bottle - It is a hard glass bottle in blue again!!with an easy to open lid with a spray for easy and good coverage when applying. The Fragrance - The fragrance is woody , fruity and quite aromatic. It is a very strong scent and is very long lasting. Which is a plus point. Not many scents nowadays last too long after applying them. It has a very distinctive smell and whenever i catch a wiff i know its Blue Jeans!!! I think it is a great smelling fragrance and is very fresh and invigorating. My friends often comment on how nice it is and they start to know Blue... Read review

...These are the jeans to match the H-G Celtic jacket.. The Jeans are lined and comfortable, with padding and armour where you need it (To get more information you should check out the review of the jacket aswell). The jeans fit to the jacket with a full waist zip which keeps out the wind and helps to keep the cold out on when the weather isn't at it's best.. Although the suit isn't made for winter riding, the jeans are quite warm, and the matching jacket can fit under a larger paddock jacket to enable you to ride in colder weather. The ankle zip can catch against your ankle bone if you don't get it sat just right, but instead of riding with the zip digging in, As soon as you put your boot on, you can feel the problem straight away. This just means unfastening the boot and rearranging the leg for more comfort. As with the jacket... Read review
