Limousin appears to be the most socialist, so I vote for them. (Brings new meaning to the phrase Limousine Liberal! Wink )

However, my favourite part of France is St. Pierre and Miquelon. And, I'd probably rather live in the Rhones-Alpes region, where there is some curling activity.

Which region have you voted for, Hash ?
Pays de la Loire, considering Brittany is "forbidden" for you ?

PdL? Yuck, no. I'd never vote for a fake abomination.

I voted for Corse. I'm all over any regionalist movements, I like the people, and I hear the island is absolutely beautiful. I also like Alsace, Rhone-Alpes (Grenoble and the region I've heard is nice), backcountry PACA (I've been to Nice and the Cote, it's typical tourist stupidities - but I loved the backcountry and remoter locations along the Italian border), Normandie (though Le Havre, from what I've seen, is an ugly overturned ashtray). I'm also interested in the Massif Central - Lozere, Cantal, Haute-Loire in particular. Also parts of other regions but I don't know enough about them. The Nord is not a nice region, but the people are very nice. Ile-de-France is probably my least favourite.

If I had allowed myself, I'd obviously vote for Breizh.

I can't choose Brittany as I live here (but I wouldn't: around Rennes, it's much too sad: no hills, no forests, no lakes, no beautiful architectures, not many castles....and elsewhere in Bretagne, apart from the coasts and the old castles, the countryside is sad and architecture of houses, especially since 1980s, is disgusting)
(no offense, Hash Wink ).

Eh, if you like castles, the Loire River is a better place for that. Though there are nice castles - Pontivy, Nantes, Vitré, Fougeres, Combourg. I love the coast and nature and I'm not too much of a mountains fan, so I obviously like Bretagne a lot. My favourite place is Finistere Sud (Crozon, Quimper, Pointe du Raz, Locronan, Landudec).

The Rennes suburbia is pretty bad, though. Lots of small empty bourgs, typical houses, little to do. Saint-Jacques-de-la-Lande is especially ugly. Though inner city is nice.

Limousin appears to be the most socialist, so I vote for them. (Brings new meaning to the phrase Limousine Liberal! Wink )

However, my favourite part of France is St. Pierre and Miquelon. And, I'd probably rather live in the Rhones-Alpes region, where there is some curling activity.

Limousin socialists are most certainly not liberals. Especially the type in Limousin.


I was using the term in the American sense, as it is an American term. I'm not stupid, I know socialists aren't Liberals Tongue
