An Introduction to the Cities of France

Paris is the capital of France and is one of the most beautiful and romantic cities in the world. During the last century, it has grown rapidly and now is home to almost one-fifth of the nation's total population. To many visitors, the city itself is like a museum. But the city does not have the claustrophobic feel of many large cities as you will always be close to one of its many gardens or a tree lined boulevard. Despite the size of the city it is very easy to get around and visit all the major attractions. Paris centre itself is relatively compact and the surrounding areas of Paris are connected by a highly efficient public transport system, which includes an underground Metro system and an over-ground suburban rail network. If you plan to visit other major cities in France Paris is also the hub of the much acclaimed TGV rail system which offers routes to all the major regions of France.

Popular tourist attractions in Paris include the Eiffel Tower built between the years 1887-1889, the Notre Dame Cathedral, the Bastille and the Louvre, the home of da Vinci's famous painting the 'Mona Lisa'. If you just want to take in the ambience of this fantastic city, then a stroll along the Champs-Élysées or a boat cruise is called for. The night life, with the world famous cabarets such as the Moulin Rouge, Lido and Crazy Horse, offer a rich variety of entertainment. You will find restaurants offering fine cuisine in all price ranges all over the city, and the food and service in the smaller bar-brassieres is a match to them all.

Lille

Lille is one of the major cities of France, located in the north in the France it is also a major traffic hub with major autoroutes and rail links all passing through it. The Eurostar makes an important halt here and provides high speed trains with many other important destinations in France so it's an easy destination to visit. Lille and its surrounding area have a unique style. It can be seen as something between those of the Flemish and the baroque. Since the 17th century Lille has been enlarged three times, giving the town its present day look, which is that of a fairly new town

It is also known as one of the friendliest cities in France. In this part of France, you'll notice a very strong local accent, the people also known to like a beer or three. Thousands of visitors descend on Lille for its annual flea market where all the streets are occupied with stands selling anything and everything.

Lyon

Lyon is the third largest city in France. The city is of geographical and economical importance, and is a major centre of business. It has the reputation of being the French capital of gastronomy and is registered as a World Heritage site. Communication links to Lyon are numerous as it has developed an impressive infrastructure, including an ultra-modern Metro system, two main line stations that play host to the TGV train system, and has an international airport.

But do not overlook Lyon thinking it is just a cloned business city that you find all over the world. This French city is full of Roman attractions, including a great amphitheatre, history, incredible restaurants and a great shopping area. The Rhône and Saône rivers flow through the city and the Roman ruins and other historic attractions can be found on the right bank of the Saone. The fertile valleys of the two rivers and the surrounding steep hillsides have been found to be ideal for wine production, another introduction of the Romans..

Marseille

Marseille is one of the most exhilarating cities in France, offering a mix of cultures and races, and some of the best restaurants in the country. Marseille is one of France's oldest cities dating back more than 2000 years. Marseille was one of the ancient Mediterranean ports and played an important part in maritime history, and has now grown into a large cosmopolitans city. With two ports, there functions have been divided, the new port handles the cargo traffic, whilst the old port usually used to be the scene for pleasure cruises and a great place to have a drink and watch the world go by.

Toulouse

Located in the region of Midi-Pyrenees, the provincial city of Toulouse, with its beautiful historic centre, is one of the most vibrant and metropolitan in France. The city is set half way between the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea. The Pyrenees Mountains are to the south and mark the border between France and Spain. As well as being a well located historic city it has developed into the home for major high-tech companies, including the French Space research program SNIAS.

For food lovers Toulouse is no different to the rest of France, it has it's own local delicacy in the "Saucisse de Toulouse", a traditional sausage made with pork, smoked bacon and red wine. Another local specialty is the Cassoulet, well worth try. It is made with beans in a tomato sauce and various meats

Bordeaux

Bordeaux is one of the most important cities in south-western France and is in the region of Aquitaine. It is the capital of what is probably the most famous wine producing region in the world. Surprisingly Bordeaux goes relatively unnoticed by tourists, as the agreeable climate and rich history make this thriving city an interesting place to explore. It offers all the culture and shopping that you would expect from a large and sophisticated city associated with the centuries old wine trade. It also boasts vinotherapie (wine therapy) spas. A youthful culture abounds in Bordeaux as the influx of college students inject it with a young attitude that contrasts and complements its rich history. The city has an abundance of pavement cafés and bars where you can enjoy the divine food of the region accompanied by one of the fabulous Bordeaux wines. Bordeaux is, quite simply combines a luscious, lively and lovely lifestyle.

It is hard to imagine that Bordeaux was once part the English kingdom. The French retook possession, in the 15th century, but then was left to decline for more than 200 years. Prosperity did not return to the city until Louis XI came to the throne and installed a parliament.

Top 9 Most Important Items for Your Baby Nursery

There are so many aspects of preparing for your newborn baby. They range from choosing a doctor, to deciding on a name to shopping for wipes and diapers. Some of the tasks are more bothersome than exciting. Luckily, preparing the baby nursery is a large task but it might be the thing that heightens the anticipation more than anything else. There are many things to consider and shop for. This article provides a list of what you will need and what to look for in each of those products.

Davinci Bed Rails

Crib: The crib can be one of the most expensive things you will need for your baby. It is also one of the better items to buy second hand. Either way, for safety reasons make sure that the slats are no more than 2 3/8 inches wide. Make sure that the crib has at least two heights for the mattress and has drop down sides. People with back issues or women who have had c-sections will have major issues if they don't have these options. If you are buying new, go with a convertible crib. They are solid wood and generally very sturdy. They are a one-time purchase and you will never have to buy your child another bed. They look great and will last. Although solid wood can be re-finished if needed, there are crib rail covers available that protect the crib from bite marks and other scratches. They are fabric with a waterproof layer and are machine washable. They are an inexpensive way to keep the crib in good condition as well as adding a finishing touch to the crib bedding set. If you are buying second-hand, make sure that the crib is not more than 2-3 years old. Safety standards on cribs are always changing and it is a good idea to keep up with them.

Davinci Bed Rails

Changing table: Choose a change table that is about waist height. The best choice is a change table with a drawer. It keeps everything within easy reach, prevents the parent from bending over and keeps the table looking tidy. The change tables with two open shelves are not practical, especially when your little one starts getting into things. Some people decide to put a changing pad on a dresser, counter or table top. The pad should have a waist strap and have curved sides so the baby can't roll off. There should be shelves installed on the wall above the changing area to safely store changing necessities.

Clothes storage: Have somewhere to store your baby clothes, baby blankets and other paraphernalia. You will need some hanging space and some shelf space. This can be a proper dresser, shelving installed in the closet or even plastic drawer storage will do the trick. Try to keep your babies clothes organized as best as possible. A great way is to hang all of the clothes that are too big in order of size. This way you will always know what you have on hand for the next size of clothing. It is easy to lose track of what fits and what doesn't, especially in the early months.

Crib Mattress: A crib mattress should fit snugly in the crib. There should be no more than two fingers width between the mattress and the edge of the crib. A mattress should also be waterproof and firm. It is safest for infants to lay on their back on a firm surface.

Mattress protector: Purchase at least one waterproof mattress protector. This softens the plastic cover on the mattress making it quieter and warmer for your baby. They also make it easier to clean up messes. Ensure that the protector fits snugly and will not slip off the mattress and become a suffocation hazard.

Crib sheets: Choose crib sheets that are made to fit your crib mattress. Make sure that they are fitted sheets so they don't slip off the mattress. Have at least three crib sheets on hand in case of messes in the middle of the night.

Crib Bedding Sets: Most people decide on the crib bedding set first and then decorate accordingly. Choose a quality set that will be able to withstand the washing it requires. Most bedding sets include a crib sheet, bumper pads, a crib skirt and a comforter. It is a nice idea to choose something that will grow with the baby and leave room for flexibility. For example, decorating with teddy bears is cute for the infant stage but might not suit a one year old boy that loves trucks.

Nursery accessories: The size of your baby nursery will determine how many accessories you will be able to use. Almost every crib bedding set will have a wide range of nursery accessories including picture frames, toy boxes, kiddie-size chairs, fabric storage boxes and more. The more traditional accessories are mobiles, toy bags and valances. If you are limited with space or a budget, choose accessories that have a practical purpose as well as adding decor to the room. Some great ones are the laundry hampers, diaper stackers or the frames.

Window Coverings: Window covering are an important part of the nursery. Hopefully there will be many daytime naps so it is important that they block the sunlight. Many people choose to use blinds as well as curtains. It is very important to keep the cords for the blinds well out of reach. This can be a very serious strangulation hazard.

Enjoy creating your newborn baby's first bedroom. This is where they will spend much of their time. As parents, you will be spending a lot of time in your baby's room as well so make sure that it is set up and decorated how you like. Obviously, the most important thing is that it is a safe place for your baby to rest.

Choosing the Right Crib For a New Born Baby

It's a great feeling for parents to have their baby around the house; babies are bringing amazing joy and a new life to each and every home. However, we as parents must make our home a baby-friendly safe zone. Babies have extraordinary needs that we should fulfill and as they can't protect themselves we should do everything to keep them secure and unharmed; our babies' safety is our first priority.

Davinci Bed Rails

Same thing goes when choosing the best and the appropriate new baby products like cribs and beddings. We should choose those that passed strict quality and safety guidelines and we shouldn't go for anything less.

Davinci Bed Rails

Crib is framed furniture where our newborn babies sleep and settle most of the time. There are five types of cribs you can choose from: the standard, canopy, convertible, round and portable.

Standard Crib is the most common type of crib. It can either have a single-drop side or double-drop side. Canopy Crib has four corner posts which can hold metal frames. Within these metal frames you can set fabric canopies for a more classic and elegant look. Convertible Crib is the most convenient and highly recommended of all crib types. This is because it can transform from a standard baby crib to a toddler bed or to a full size day bed. Round Crib is a new type of crib which is fast becoming popular. It has a round shape and single-drop side. Portable Crib is narrower and smaller than the regular sized cribs. This type of crib is collapsible so you can carry it anywhere, anytime.

Aside from the crib type, there are still several factors you should consider when choosing the best crib for your newborn such as design, features, materials used and size.

Although there's no standard size for cribs body, you should measure the interior of the crib or the sleeping area. It should measure around 51 ¾ inches in length by 27 ¼ inches in width; this is also the standard measurement of crib mattresses. Cribs have different features such as adjustable height, rolling casters, teething rail, wheel, cradles, safety gates and more. When buying cribs for your babies you should know all these features; don't hesitate to ask. Cribs can be made of hardwoods like birch, pine, beech and others, as well as plastics, metal and fabric. When choosing cribs that are made of these materials make sure to check for imperfections like splinters, loose threads, jagged edges, cracks, uneven parts and paint coating or finish. Make sure that the paint use doesn't contain lead or any harmful chemical and is not chipping fast. It is also recommended to shake and rattle the crib to see how sturdy it is; however don't shake to hard. Always check for the cribs designs, make sure that these special designs and features will be useful for you. Remember, extra feature and elaborate designs means additional cost. Check if the crib is 100% safe for you baby, especially the drop-down side and adjustable height. Make sure that the cribs can handle extreme force and weight and won't break down easily. Finally, always look for the Juvenile Product Manufacturers Association (JPMA) safety seal.

Of course, whenever you buy cribs for your babies, you should also buy beddings and crib mattresses. In doing so, there are also important factors you should consider such as materials used, design, color and size.

When choosing mattresses make sure that it will fit the interior of your baby's crib. Standard measure is 51 ¾ inch by 27 ¾ inch. As much as possible do the finger test. To do this simple place the mattress into the crib, insert two of your fingers between the mattress and the cribs railing. If your fingers fit, the mattress is too small; it should at lease one-finger spacing. This is to ensure that your babies won't and can't crawl underneath the mattress. When choosing the crib's beddings make sure that it fits the mattress snugly. Make sure that the beddings and sheets secured and is never loose this is to avoid accidents like suffocation and straggling. Of course, choose beddings that are made of durable, comfortable and baby-friendly materials. It is recommended that you buy at least two set of beddings so that you can change it as often as possible. It is also important to check the beddings for unwanted tears, stains and holes.

Baby Crib Reviews - DaVinci Kalani Convertible Baby Crib - Our Opinion:

Davinci Bed Rails

We have found an incredible number of reviews on the DaVinci Kalani Convertible Crib. There were 165 reviews, and the vast majority were excellent. So of the 165 reviews, 98 of them awarded the maximum of a 5* rating, 50 of them awarded a 4* rating, and 10 gave 3*, 3 gave 2*, and 4 gave 1* ratings.

The positives were that the crib is safe, it is extremely sturdy, it looks great and is well worth the money. One of the comments include Exquisite Build and Finish, Amazing and Beautiful, Sturdy and Stylish, Great Quality At A Great Price, Solid Construction and Easy To Assemble, Amazing Product, and Beautiful Crib. Although people were very satisfied with the look of the crib, there were a number of comments stating how easy it is to scratch the finish, particularly during assembly or with a toddler chewing on it.

The 1* and 2* negatives were again for the finish and how easily it scratches, one had collapsed, and one thought it was going to be bigger than it was, and a couple had issues with changing it into the full size bed.

Baby Crib Reviews - DaVinci Kalani Convertible Crib Features:

It has a metal mattress support, and this can be altered to four different heights according to how big your toddler is growing. This great feature allows for the crib to be adjusted according to how your toddler is growing, so as your baby grows to a toddler you can then adjust the mattress lower to stop them crawling over the edge.

The DaVinci Kalani Convertible Crib can convert quickly and easily into a toddler size bed or a day bed. With the addition of the wooden bed rails, it then can be created into a full size bed. The Kit for the Toddler Guard Rail is included, and this allows for crib to be converted into the toddler bed. If you would prefer to alter for more extended usage then you can use the Headboard and Footboard which are included to help create into a full size bed, however the (M4799) full size rails are sold separately.

The DaVinci Kalani Convertible Baby Crib is safer for baby too as it has a stationary side, so no drop rails or moving parts and therefore much safer

Crib Dimensions: 42"H x 35"W x 54.375"D Assembled Weight: 56.5 lbs.

Crib Woodworking Plans

Those who are handy may be able to make a crib using crib woodworking plans. Custom built cribs are not only beautiful they are filled with
special meaning as well. There are many crib woodworking plans available to you. Here are some tips for choosing and using crib woodworking plans
wisely.

Davinci Bed Rails

· Check woodworking sites. Some offer plans for free while others charge for them. Some offer plans immediately for download or you may choose
to have the plans sent to you through the mail. Typical baby crib plans for woodworkers sell for about and up.

Davinci Bed Rails

· When choosing a crib building plan think about its complexity and your woodworking skills. While you may be able to take on a challenge you
don't want to get stuck in the middle with an unfinished crib. Consider the skill level needed for the type of crib you want to build and pick a
crib in your skill level. If choosing a plan through a Web site look for comments from others who have already made the crib.

· Make sure that the baby crib woodworking plans meet all the federal safety guidelines. Check the most current standards before choosing a
plan. Remember that some plans may be older or out of date and some originate in another country where safety standards aren't followed.

· When choosing a crib woodworking plan make sure that the plan contains detailed instructions and not just basic instructions. The more
detailed the plan the better the results will be, especially for those with less woodworking skills.

· Look for crib woodworking plans that include color photos which make the process easier to follow. Also, plans that have detailed drawings
and exploded views are the easiest to follow so review what is included in the plan before purchasing it.

· Allow plenty of time to build the baby crib. Most people who take this project on are not professional woodworkers and are building the crib in their spare time.

Unlike other projects that don't have a due date, the crib does need to be used by a specific date. Don't cut it too close or you'll be

stressed at the end and may produce a less than excellent result. A rule of thumb is to try to have the crib fully completed one month before

it is needed.

· Seek help if and when you need it. There are many ways to get some assistance on your crib project. Don't be afraid to use any resources
that are available to you. Many woodworking web sites have forums where you can ask others questions. This is an excellent way to get support.
You may also be able to get support from the maker of the crib plans. Some offer a phone number or web site specifically to help those with
questions along the way.

· Always test the finished product before starting to use it with the baby. Make sure that the rails work smoothly. Ensure that there are no
sharp or rough edges and that all the hardware is properly attached. If staining or painting the crib allow adequate time for the piece to dry
and air out properly.

Learn How The Jenny Lind Crib Came To Be

When you are preparing for your new baby, there are many things that must be taken into consideration; topping the list is baby furniture. While you could shop throughout your entire pregnancy for baby furniture, choosing this lamp or that changing table, the most important piece of furniture for your baby is the crib.

Davinci Bed Rails

Many parents to be choose Jenny Lind cribs because of the classic style and elegance. What many people do not know is that Jenny Lind is a style of crib, not a brand name. Jenny Lind styles include furniture for the entire nursery as well as bedding.

Davinci Bed Rails

It is quite fascinating to find that the Jenny Lind crib was name for an actual person. Jenny Lind was a Swedish opera singer in the early to mid eighteen hundreds. Her birth name was Johanna Marie Lind. Her birth at that period of time was scandalous, as she was born to an unwed mother.

Although Jenny Lind was an accomplished opera singer, she also worked with a great number of charities, which made her an American sweetheart. It was said that she would only sleep on bed with spindles, and that is where it is believed the style came from.

Jenny Lind lent her name to several different items of the times, and even had a town in California named after her, however it was the Jenny Lind crib that has kept her name going for almost two centuries.

Different companies can manufacture a Jenny Lind crib, some of which are world renowned, and each one adds its own unique qualities. They can be made from any type of wood, and range in price according to what type of wood is used and who manufactures it.

The design is always the same, a very simple design that is made of spindles with the sides offset just a bit. The tops of the side rails are round so there are no edges for your baby to get hurt on.

Jenny Lind style furniture includes cradles, changing table and even bedding for each. It is a well-respected name in the furniture industry and is among the top sellers of all baby furniture.

Baby Crib Review - What To Look For When Choosing A Baby Crib

You're going to be a new parent and are starting to make purchases for your little one. The first major purchase you will make is a baby crib. An infant spends more than 1600 hours sleeping during the fist year alone. Most of that time will be spent in the new crib. When choosing a crib look at baby crib reviews to determine the best crib for your situation.

Quality

Davinci Bed Rails

Baby cribs are available in almost any price point from about 0 and up. The lower priced cribs typically are not made as well as those with higher price tags. They may not be as sturdy either. However, it isn't necessary to purchase the highest price crib either. Think about your budget when considering the purchase.

Start by looking at cribs that fall within a certain range of prices. Higher quality cribs are made of solid woods or high-grade materials that are meant to last a long time. The upper end cribs are typically heirloom quality. If you plan to have several children who will use the crib you may want to opt for at least a middle-grade crib to ensure that it will stay sturdy for some years.

Features

Features are an important factor when looking at baby crib reviews. To start with consider whether you need to have one or both sides of the crib drop down for easy access. If the crib is to be placed next to a wall there is the need for only one drop side, whereas if the crib is placed in the middle of the room the crib may be able to be accessed from either side.

Mattress height can be adjusted on almost any baby crib. Make sure that the crib has several positions and that they are made to lock in place securely. The drop sides should have similar adjustments available as well. Be sure that you can make the proper adjustments and that the sides do not easily push down. The mattress must fit snugly into the crib.

Some cribs come with rolling castors attached. These provide the ability to easily move the crib as needed. Check to make sure that they can lock in place so that the crib cannot be moved easily. A teething rail is sometimes provided and is attached to the top of the rails.

Convertible baby cribs are a popular choice. These are cribs that can easily convert to a toddler bed, daybed or full size bed as the child grows. This makes the transition easy as the child gets bigger as well as saves you money. Most convertible cribs require the purchase of an additional optional hardware kit to make the transition possible. Toddler beds and daybeds often use the same crib mattress. When converting to a full-size bed the sides or ends are transitioned to the headboard and footboard and a new bed frame and mattress are required.

Safety

Many safety guidelines are in place for baby cribs. The safety standards have been in effect since 1973 with occasional updates. New cribs all conform to these standards and should contain a sticker which tells you that it does indeed conform to safety standards.

Many baby products have been recalled through the years due to safety concerns. Always check with the store or manufacturer to ensure that the crib you choose has not been part of a recall. If a crib is recalled there is often a retrofit kit available to make the crib safe again.

Rome Hotels:

Being one of Italy's most popular tourist destinations, it is hardly surprising that
Rome is full of hotels, catering for all tastes and budgets. Ranging from impressive
hotels in the Centro Storico (historic centre), to more modern accommodation
around the Campo dei Fiori, hotels in Rome quickly become fully booked, and so be
sure to reserve your room in advance. Bed and breakfasts in Rome are known as
'pensioni' and often provide particularly good value for money, with a number being
located close to the 'Stazione Termini' railway station and Trastevere area.

Rome Tourism:

Rome has long been a major tourist destination and its historical attractions and
important ruins are known throughout the world. However, the city is also an
exciting and vibrant place to visit, with many impressive shops, restaurants,
entertainment venues and seasonal festivals. Some of the most popular places to
visit in Rome include the Circus Maximus, the Coliseum, the Forum, the Pantheon,
Janiculum Hill, the Trevi Fountain, the Spanish Steps, and the vast Vatican City, the
official residence of the Pope, head of the Roman Catholic faith. The Sistine Chapel
at the Vatican City is particularly awe-inspiring, together with the city's numerous
art galleries and museums.

Popular events in the city include many operas, ballets and concerts at Rome's
numerous theatres. Other seasonal highlights include regular football matches at
the Stadio Olimpico, the Rome Marathon each March, religious events throughout
Easter, concerts at the Teatro Olimpico, June's Pesaro Film Festival, and also the
Festa della Madonna della Neve, held every August.

Rome Transport:

With good rail connections to a number of major cities, including Florence and
Venice, Rome is well-connected by highways, which provide easy access to nearby
towns. Rome's Metro subway network, public buses and trams all provide
inexpensive ways to travel throughout the city. Car rental is one of the most
popular ways to travel out of the city and is perfect for day trips and excursions.

Located around 18 miles / 29 km from the city centre, Leonardo da Vinci Airport,
also known as Fiumicino, is an important air transport hub. Dealing with large
numbers of domestic and international flights each day, ground transportation at
the airport includes buses, trains and car hire.

Known for its chic fashion boutiques and expensive department stores, shopping in
Rome is a major attraction. With many bustling shops clustered around the Piazza
Di Spagna, other popular stores can be found around the city's Via Del Governo
