Old talk

This territory was owned by the Leopold II, the King of Belgium and given to France. What a mistake!

Does anyone know if there was actually a Saint named Jean Cap Ferrat? There's nothing on the Catholic or Anglican Home pages... Did they just make one up? Was there rich man who decided to canonize himself? Anybody know?

Cap Ferrat is "Cape Ferrat", or so I've always assumed. There are plentty of St Jean's. William M. Connolley 08:20, 26 October 2005 (UTC).[reply]

Tone

Wording such as "Yes, there are trophy homes in Malibu or Beverly Hills, tropical paradises in Barbados or the Seychelles." needs to be reworded to a more neutral tone. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and not a travelogue. -- Whpq (talk) 18:09, 17 January 2008 (UTC) But that is the history of the place, you can not change —Preceding unsigned comment added by 189.46.196.229 (talk) 18:12, 17 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Reply - the quoted text above was only an example. The entire section is written in that tone. And as for it being history, that may be so. But the wording can be written better and that's why the tag has been added. -- Whpq (talk) 18:16, 17 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

OK I will check —Preceding unsigned comment added by 189.46.196.229 (talk) 18:22, 17 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Villa Maryland

I'm sure I remember reading in a book^[1] on some of the more lavish villas of the French Riviera that Paul Allen's Villa Maryland was originally built by Arthur Wilson, whose Yorkshire home, Tranby Croft, was the scene of the Royal baccarat scandal and that he moved there from England as a direct result of his personal notoriety arising from that scandal.

escalope de mérou au citron

There may be a translation problem: mérou is French for a grouper and the French for a lime is citron vert; citron is a lemon. ☺ Dick Kimball (talk) 20:50, 20 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
