Gex

I did a thesis for a course on European Studies on the European Microstates - there was a legal case involving Gex, and articles in The Times (of London) - so I just summarised what I knew.

The French article contains words I would need a dictionary for eg navetteurs.

Thanks for the link. I should of course have looked it up myself(!) A navetteur would be a commuter. A huge proportion of people from here do indeed commute to Geneva and to CERN, which lies half in France and half in Switzerland. Unless you work in tourism or in a shop, there's precious little work in Gex! Am totally new to Wikipedia ... is it the idea that one replies via one's own talk page, like I am doing, or should I have placed this reply on yours?
