6 Barbie, Klaus
(1913-1991)Known during the Second World War as the "Butcher of Lyons", Klaus Barbie was a notorious SS officer. As head of the Gestapo in Lyons, he oversaw the torture, death and deportation of Jews and French Resistance fighters betwen 1942 and 1944. Most notably, he was responsible for the torture and possible murder of Resistance leader Jean Moulin, and for the deportation to Auschwitz of 44 children from an orphanage at Izieu, a small town to the east of Lyon. After the war, he fled to Latin America, eventually ending up in Bolivia. In 1983 he was finally exradited to France, where he was put on trial in Lyon for crimes against humanity. Though he pleaded innocent, Barbie was found guilty, and sentenced to life imprisonment. He died in jail in 1991.Dictionnaire Français-Anglais. Agriculture Biologique > Barbie, Klaus

Kiabi belongs to the Mulliez group, one of France's large family companies that also owns the Auchan hypermarket chain (q.v.).

8 Champagne
The most famous sparkling wine in the world, produced in the 34,000 hectares of registered vineyards in the Champagne-Ardenne region of north-east France. The two main centres for Champagne production are the areas of Reims and Epernay. Champagne is an Appellation contrôlée, and the name can only be used to describe sparkling wine produced in the Champagne area. Other areas used to label traditionally produced sparkling wines as being "méthode champenoise", but even this adjectival use of the word is now prohibited.The Champagne region contains the most northerly of France's major vineyards. Unlike most French wines, champagnes are blended in order to produce either non vintage champagnes (blended from different years) or vintage champagne, blended from wines of the same harvest. Consequently, since the quality of the champagne ultimately depends on a balance between the quality of the grapes and the skill of the blenders, Champagnes are also ranked and promoted by producer, not by any more finely delimited appellation. Among the most highly rated of blends are Krug, Mumm, Bollinger and Heidsieck, not to mention the very well known brands of Moët & Chandon and Taittinger.The distinct taste and purity of real champagne is certainly due to the chalky soil and the continental growing conditions that abound in the Champagne region. Several of the main French Champagne producers have set up branches and vineyards in California, but in spite of bringing over their best master-blenders, have never been able to achieve quite the same result.Although many people imagine that Champagnes are all white, this is not the case. Rosé champagnes also exist.Dictionnaire Français-Anglais. Agriculture Biologique > Champagne

11 Bordeaux
1) A major port city in southwest France, on the Gironde, and capital of the Aquitaine region.2) Wine, and wine growing region. With Burgundy and Champagne,the Bordeaux region is one of the three most famous wine-producing regionsin France. Historically, its fame is at least in part due to the fact that of these three big wine-growing areas, the Bordeaux vineyard is the only one with immediate access to the sea, an advantage that has enabled it to be France's major wine exporting region for many centuries.In 1152, when queen Eleanor of Aquitaine married the English king Henry II, the Aquitaine region became economically integrated into the Anglo-Norman world, the Bordeaux region becoming a major supplier of wine for England. This historic wine exporting tradition helped Bordeaux to develop far stronger commercial links in the ensuing centuries, firmly establishing Bordeaux wines, often referred to generically in English as "clarets", on the international market.The Bordeaux vineyard is centered round the port city of Bordeaux, along the estuary of the Gironde, and the rivers Garonne and Dordogne. It is a large vineyard, and the geo-specific appellation "Bordeaux" covers an area stretching some 100 km both north-south and east-west.While the appellation contrôlée covers wines of medium quality from all over this region, many if not most of the top quality clarets grown in the overall area benefit from more specific and distinctive area appellations, such as Médoc, Graves or Saint Emilion, and even more local appellations such as Pauillac, Graves and Saint-Estèphe.Unlike other wine-growing areas, the Bordeaux area operates classifications of many of its top wines, notably those from the Médoc and Saint Emilion vineyards. The best estates in these areas have the right to sell wines designated as grand cru. Below the grand crus come other high quality wines designated as cru bourgeois.Dictionnaire Français-Anglais.

12 Champagne-Ardenne
Region in north east France, lying betwen Paris and south west Belgium. Capital Rheims (Reims). The region consists of four departments, Aube, Ardennes, Haute-Marne and Marne. It borders on the regions of Lorraine, Franche-Comté, Burgundy, Ile de France, Picardy and Nord-Pas-de-Calais. It is one of France's principal regions for the production of wheat, sugar beet and oilseed rape, as well as including over 28,000 hectares of vineyards, mostly for the production of Champagne. Over recent decades it has lost population, due to rural exodus and to the attraction of other regions with a warmer climate.

13 Tabac brun
(Also called black tobacco in English) Until the 1980s, most of the cigarettes smoked in France were French brands, made with brown tobacco, a stronger more pungent version of tobacco than the classic blond tobacco of the new world. The tobacco was either grown in France, or imported from the Near East (Turkey in particular). The three most popular brands were Gauloises, Gitanes and Disque Bleu. Brown tobacco was popular throughout southern Europe. Today, in a country that is more health conscious and where smoking bans are in force, brown tobacco has gone out of favour; the once famous French brands are now no longer manufactured in France.Dictionnaire Français-Anglais.

15 Bourgogne
1) Region in central France, capital Dijon. The Burgundy region is made up of four departments, the Yonne, the Nièvre, the Côte d'Or and the Saône et Loire. It is bordered by the regions of Centre, Champagne, Franche Comté, Rhone-alpes and Auvergne. It is essentially agricultural, its most famous product being Burgundy wine. the northeast of the region includes the Morvan hills, the southwest covers the large flat expanse of the Saône valley. For further information see Burgundy region guide.2) the wine from the vineyards of Burgundy. The vineyards of the Burgundy region cover a narrow strip of land on the eastern slopes of the hills running south-east from the Burgundian Capital, Dijon. the heart of the Burgundy wine growing region is the small city of Beaune, where the autun wine sale in the historic "Hospices" building is one of the high points of the wine year. Burgundy wines are classified on four levels, the lowest being the generic "Bourgogne" appellation. Selected areas of the Burgundy vineyard have their own classifications, such as Côtes de Beaune. Within these, there are smaller areas, villages and groups of villages, reputed to produce higher quality wine, such as Pernand Vergelesse or Aloxe Corton. Finally, at the top of the pyramid, there are the estate wines, such as Clos Vougeot, with its mere 51 hectares of vineyard. Finding one's way around Burgundy wines is sometimes a daunting task. The most famous brands are the reds, the best of which can keep for a good 20 to 30 years. However, Burgundy also produces some top quality, though not too distinctive, whites.Dictionnaire Français-Anglais. Agriculture Biologique > Bourgogne

16 Jura
1) A rural French department (no. 39) in the Franche Comté region, capital Lons le Saunier..2) Mountain range along the French Swiss border, running south-west / north-east from the Rhone valley near Geneva to the Belfort gap, mostly in the region of Franche-Comté. The main towns are Pontarlier and Saint Claude. Among the oldest mountains in France, the limestone Jura rise on the French side through a series of plateaux and folds, reaching their peaks, at between 1400 and 1700 metres, more or less on the Swiss border. On the Swiss side of the border, the range falls away much more steeply. The plateaux of the Jura are cut into by a number of deep gorges, the most dramatic being those of the Ain, the Doubs and the Loue rivers. The Jura is mainly a mix of pastures and coniferous forest, with deciduous forests on the lower levels; it is famous for its mountain cheeses (Comté, Mont d'Or), and for its watch and clockmaking industry, which is closely linked to the Swiss watch industry.3) Wine. Possibly the most underrated of French white wines, Jura wines come from the west-facing slopes of the Jura hills, that look out across the wide Saône valley to the slopes of Burgundy on the other side. The best and most distinctive of Jura whites are made from the "Savagnin" grape variety, which is found only in this region, and gives the wine a distinctive sherry-like taste. further information on the wines page.Dictionnaire Français-Anglais.

17 Lorraine
French region located in north east France, bordering Belgium, Luxembourg, Germany, Champagne-Ardenne, Alsace, and Franche Comté. The administrative capital of Lorraine is Metz; but the urban area of Nancy is the region's largest connurbation. Lorraine was formerly a major industrial region, with large steelworks in the Moselle valley, and along the German border in the area of Forbach. The region is made up of four departments, Meurthe-et-Moselle, Meuse, Moselle and Vosges. Like their neighbours in Alsace, the people of the north of the region, along the German border, have a regional language of Germanic origin.
