#10 - Colombay-les-Deux Eglises (sp?) - DeGaulle bought some property there in the 1930s and was buried there.
#2 - 3 narrow-gauge SNCF lines:
1- Le Petit Train Jeune - Pyranees to La Tour de Carol from near Perpignan
2- line from St Fayet-les-Bains (sp?) to Chamonix and beyond to the Swiss frontier
# 8 should be spelled Briare but percy gets credit for it - a wonderful thing to see as boats cross the Loire from high above it:

3- Le Train Bleu - in the Sologne, the least known by far - from Salbris to Valencay or so - definigtely not a tourist train.

Oops - the third narrow-gauge SNCF run train is the Train Blanc (white) not Bleu!
