24 DS
(Pronounced [Déesse], i.e. "Goddess")See also Citroën. The top-of- the range model produced by car manufacturer Citroën from 1955 to 1975. When it first came out, the car, with its revolutionary aerodynamics and air suspension, was far ahead of its time. It was the perfect vehicle for cruising at unlimited speed on the very poorly-surfaced main roads of fifties and sixties France. It was said at the time that the surfaces of French main roads would never improve, because all decision-makers rode round in DS, so never realised how bumpy the roads were for other drivers. -

29 Rance, barrage de la / usine marémotrice de la
Pioneering project to create electricity from tidal power, the Rance tidal power station was opened in 1967. The mouth of the River Rance, in northern Brittany, has one of the greatest tidal variations anywhere in the world. The dam is 750 metres long, and its peak power output rating is 240 Mw. It accounts for 60% of the electricity produced in Brittany - but this figure is sure to fall fast with the development of more parcs éoliens (wind farms) in the area.Dictionnaire Français-Anglais.
