There are reports that the french visitors are not treating the rural britons well, but the french government simply says that if the british women wish to become invloved with a frenchman... well, who can really blame their choice. Marseille: Also in the news is the invitation of italian and german forces to the Mediterranean coasline for a "getting to know our neighbor" month hosted by the Mayor of Marseille. The Emperor was reportedly not consulted for the invitation, but there have always been rumors of unofficial violations of the Buzac-Neur Act (condeming all Franco-Prussian goodwill) from within the city of lights itself. -john.
