Spectacular film captures final moments of French water tower. Sadly, like the vast majority of my fellow countrymen, I am hideously and unforgivably mono-lingual. Sure, I studied French at school but the only word I remember is guepe (wasp) and the only phrase I have ever mastered is “le singe est dans l’arbe” (the monkey […]
