THE PINE TREE BY HANS CHRISTIAN ANDERSEN
(in the public domain)

WHEN IT WAS LITTLE
OUT in the woods stood such a nice little Pine Tree: he had a good place; the sun could get at him; there was fresh air enough; and round him grew many big comrades, both pines and firs. But the little Pine wanted so very much to be a grown-up tree.

New to City Data: subject: Cognac France

Posted 11-27-2008 at 01:06 PM by vinomonte
Planning to visit Cognac, France around Christmas 2008.

Any ideas on the best way to get there from Atlanta?

Fly-into Paris, then TGV or...?

Better to rent a car in Paris or get to vicinity of Cognac and rent a car there?

Place(s) to stay ?

Regards
