It was a steam driven and had three wheels. This company went on to released more cars in 1948, 1960, 1968, 1979, 1983, 1987, 1997, 1998, 2009 and 2016. In 2016 was the launch of the SUV 3008, It was so good that it was named car of the year.
I think peugot sells good, spacious cars, that would be good for families or groups of more than one person, also they have a five year warranty]]> 2019-03-21 01:38:55 UTC https://padlet.com/0367037/frenchcollection/wish/343600143 0367037 https://padlet.com/0367037/frenchcollection/wish/343603190 2019-03-21 01:56:07 UTC https://padlet.com/0367037/frenchcollection/wish/343603190 0367037 https://padlet.com/0367037/frenchcollection/wish/343603873

In a food processor, combine the powdered sugar, almond flour, and half a teaspoon of salt, and process on low speed, until extra fine. 

Sift the almond flour mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a large bowl.

In another large bowl, beat the egg whites and the remaining ½ teaspoon of salt with an electric hand mixer until soft peaks form. Slowly, add the granulated sugar until fully incorporated. Continue to beat until stiff peaks form.

Add the vanilla and beat until incorporated then, Add the food coloring and beat until just combined.

Add about ⅓ of the sifted almond flour mixture at a time to the beaten egg whites and use a spatula to gently combine. After the last addition of almond flour, continue to fold slowly until the batter falls into ribbons and you can make a figure 8 while holding the spatula up.

Transfer the batter into a piping bag fitted with a round tip.

Place 4 dots of the batter in each corner of a rimmed baking sheet, place a piece of parchment paper over it, using the batter to help adhere the parchment to the baking sheet.

Pipe the macarons onto the parchment paper in 1½-inch (3-cm) circles, spacing at least 1-inch (2-cm) apart.

Tap the baking sheet on a flat surface 5 times to release any air bubbles.

Let the macarons sit at room temperature for 30 minutes to 1 hour, until dry to the touch.

Preheat the oven to 300˚F (150˚C).

Bake the macarons for 17 minutes, until the feet are well-risen and the macarons don’t stick to the parchment paper.

Transfer the macarons to a cooling rack to cool completely before filling.

 In another large bowl, add the butter and beat with a mixer for 1 minute until light and fluffy. Sift in the powdered sugar, beat until fully incorporated. Add the vanilla and beat to combine. Add the cream, 1 tablespoon at a time, and beat to combine, until desired consistency is reached.

Transfer the buttercream to a piping bag with a round tip.

Add a dollop of buttercream to one macaron shell. Top it with another macaron shell to create a sandwich. Repeat with remaining macaron shells and buttercream.

Place in an airtight container for 24 hours to “bloom”

I think that this recipe is very rewarding, becuase it takes quite sometime, but when you finish it not only will you get to eat they, but you will also see how the effort put into making them really does reward you.

French influnced Australia with macorans as a dessert and food, and it helps to develp new recipes and differnet cooking techniques.

A french underground, better know as the Maqis was formed. Life was dangerous for the Maqis, the Germans were one step ahead of the French with their counter-espionage system.
There most common and successful techniques for discovering who was part of the Maqis, was to send letters to suspected Maqis Spy, pretending they were other people from the Maqis, these letter would tell the to meet them at a specific place and time todo a task or to learn about something. If the person was loyal to the Germans they would either Ignore it or report it. If the person acted on the message, and did what it said, they would immedienty be executed.

British Intelligence soon realised what was going on. The needed a way the communicate but also know how to tell if it was really the Maqis, or the Germans trying to trick them. Inspired by history, an operator realised that the British had reproduced German stamps to send anti-German propaganda throught-out Germanny during WW1. Why not do it again?

They choose to use the 1939 French Murcury stamp, they changed it just enough so that the Maqis would be able to tell instantly   that it was legit, but not so much that the Gemans would suspect something.They put highlighst on the face, on the forehead, cheekbone and neck so it was easy to tell.
This plan was kept-closely and only told people who really needed to know. The Germans and French helper never caught onto it and The Maqis was able to communicate without worry about the Germans.

I think that this plan was very clever and if it hadn't have been thought of now could be very diffe

They make around 7-8 billion bottles of wine a year! 
As you probably know thsi first fleet arrived in Australia in 1788, soon after that, the first French settlers arrived in Australia, many of thoose settlers went on to become wine makers and sellers, this was when Australia was first introduced to wine and champagne. During WW1 many more French migrants came to Australia bringing with them, there love for wine and champagne. 

If the French hadn't come to Australia eagar to show there great culture and food, we might never have had wine in Australia, or a least until very recently. Now days 41% percent of adult drink wine once a week 44.5% of Australians drink wine which is about 1.1 million people.
I think that wine is a good treat for adults to have every now and again, and can be very tasty if you get the good french wine, made there.

French wine had a BIG influnce on Australia, if we didn't have wine, there wouldn't be that very nice and easy gift to give people, and there would, have been no wine glasses being made in or for Australia. Also lots of Australian wineries that exist now, wouldn't be around, and the people who own them and thee emplyoes wouldn't have their jobs,.\]]> 2019-03-23 20:46:16 UTC https://padlet.com/0367037/frenchcollection/wish/344492849 0367037 https://padlet.com/0367037/frenchcollection/wish/344497270 André René Roussimoff, better known as Andre The Giant.

In 1837 Louis Arrived in france, he start apprenticing for Monsieur Maréchal, he stayed for 17 years, before opening his own work shop.

His early success meant he had to expnad his business. In 1859 he opened his new workshop it start with a little of 20 employes, but by 1914 it already had 225 employes.

Louis Vuitton may be a little bit out of my budget, but other than that, I think Louis Vuitton Is a very worthy and good brand.

She was born of the 7th of November 1867. In 1898, with the help of he husband peirre curie, they discovered Polonium, the later in that year radium. In 1903 Marie Curie discovery Radioactivity. 
In 1903 Marie Curie won the nobel prize for physics, and became the first ever women to win a nobel prize. but, Marie didn't stop there. In 1911 Marie wone her SECOND nobel prize, this time for Chemistry! 
Sadly Marie Curie died on the 4th of july 1934, due to exposure to, to much radiation.
I think Marie Curie, is a great role-model, who is very smart.
Australia is influnced be Marie Curie, in the ways we use radioactivity, without her many australia's wouldn't have their jobs, in special plants containing radium]]> 2019-03-26 00:24:27 UTC https://padlet.com/0367037/frenchcollection/wish/345055293 0367037 https://padlet.com/0367037/frenchcollection/wish/346821555 Claude Monet was born 14th of november 1840, in paris, France
When he 33 he enrolled into "academie sussie" but didn't get in because a critic, insulted his style and said that he style is more form and light and not realism, and the words stuck, soon enough he was struggling with depression and illness, he died in 1926. His work became more appreciated and well known after he had died, now his paintings are worth alot of money. I think that his painting are realy beautiful and that peoplec should have been less critical towards his paintings. Not only has his unusual style of paintings, changed australia's art and how it is today, it has changed alot of the world art, the way the look at it, they way the judge it, and the different techniquines to do it.
