YOu should get along with the French great. They LOVE to argue about what you mean.

And actually I would suggest Rouen--as a real alternative.

LOL! Very funny. It's true. I do enjoy arguing about what I mean. I like to argue, period.

Rouen!! Of course, I should have thought of that. For someone who loves the sense of history, Rouen would be wonderful, I'd think. Here's Wikipedia on the population:
"The city has a population of 110,000 and its metropolitan area includes some 520,000 inhabitants."

Now, THAT'S how the Wikipedia piece on Montpellier should have done it.

Thank you for the suggestion, I will look for more information on Rouen. Also, it seems to be much closer to Paris than Montpellier -- Wikipedia says about a 90-minute drive, although that's still not exactly close. Closer.
