In the Vendee - Pages Citron Barry Meadows's Yellow Pages for the Vendee. www.inthevendee.com ABOUT.COM LEARN FRENCH Learning French is an ongoing and involved process. You can't learn French overnight, and you probably can't learn on your own, no matter how many books and tapes you buy. What you can do is use this free website to supplement your learning: to get another explanation of something you didn't understand, to get extra practice between classes, and to brush up on what you once learned but have now all but forgotten. french.about.com/ CHALLANS 'S TOURIST INFORMATION OFFICE With almost 17000 inhabitants, Challans is the second largest city of the county. Very powerful in north-west Vendee, Challans' dynamism is no more a secret as shown by much entertainment, 220 businesses in town, supermarkets, and three markets per week (Tuesday, Friday and Saturday morning). Even if it might not appear so, the town has a strong and old history to discover. http://www.otsi-challans.fr/uk/communes/challans/index.html PALLUAU's TOURIST INFORMATION OFFICE OkeyDOC was born in Palluau's District.
