Auvergne Province is just some little distance from Paris, that lies three hours and a half away. Vichy is a true resort city. It is a city where the atmosphere of quietness and relaxation reigns, where beautiful parks, restaurants and cafes with world famous wonderful French cuisine are spaced cosily.

Long time ago ancient Romans called this blessed place Vicus Calidas - a settlement of warm water. Henry the Fourth who named it Vichy, turned the dull town into royal residency, and later Napoleon III transformed the thermal station of strictly medical significance into the elegant genteel resort. And so this city appears before us, its establishing lasted for many years, and now we will certainly enjoy it.

But that’s enough of journey into the history, I suggest to dip into its amenities and to experience everything that it can bounteously present us with. And these are, no less, no more, 15 spa-springs, from which 6 are potable mineral water springs with medical properties that are highly appreciated by specialists of the whole world. Temperature of spa-waters fluctuates from ?? 16 degrees till 75. Healing water has a bitterish-sour taste and is very beneficial helping in treatment of the digestive apparatus diseases and metabolic disturbance.

This amazing water is used not only for internal use, but also many people use it for outward application.

In Vichy health-improving centres, and there are 3 such centres there (Les Celestins Sofitel****, Novotel***, Ibis**), with the help of mineral water baths, diverse massage douches, mud packs, stream douches, smearing with creams and lotions on the basis of this magic water and etc. it is possible to improve skin health, locomotorium state, and in general to get rid of stress and overtiredness.

Actually you will be arranged an individual course in these hotels-health improving centres, and believe, you will fail to forbid yourself to relax. The atmosphere, qualified specialists, healing water and quietness around will muffle you up in sunny warm sensation of tranquility and peacefulness. Just imagine: you walk around the hotel wearing a bathrobe, you get diverse massages, you relax, traces of tiredness disappear, you are calm and quietly beautiful, you get ease of body and mind. And every new day is first of all your smile to yourself!

You should not also forget that French people are improvisators in food. There is no need to go into details of the dish they discuss in this truly fascinating language. The best way to experience these niceties is to taste the creation of one of the best chefs of French cuisine, cause you will have such opportunity in Vichy since the acknowledged «Chief cook of France» maitre Pierre-Yves Lorgeous manages the restaurants of the Celestins hotel.

Besides all this gorgeousness for your body and your taste, Vichy will certainly gladden your eyes with aesthetic beauty, to complete this trilogy – a sound mind in a sound body and …long the beauty live around! The city is a true fascination. It lies on the bank of the river Allier, also there is the Opera Theater built in the time of Napoleon III, a very beautiful cathedral in Art Deco style with the glass cross at the top. Actually the whole Auvergne region is one of the centres of Medieval France. If you rent a car (by the way, it is absolutely not so expensive), you can explore the surroundings. For example, the Busset castle that is only a few tens km away. What fascinates is that you can rent a suite of rooms with the breakfast in the castle itself, changing yourself into grandees for a while, and it costs about 80 euro. Also there is La Palice castle with pictures, ancient library, reliquiae.

To procedures and relaxations you can add not only visits to the neighboring castles to dissolve in medievalism, but also you can go to swim to volcanoes in the suburbs of Vichy. Many light-blue lakes formed in these dead craters. People swim in warm water, sunbathe and also if you tire to just lie and sunbathe then for lovers of sightseeing there is what to do during the whole day in the valley of volcanoes - it is an instructive and entertaining park where you can spend great time, fly by hot air balloons and find yourself in the very heart of volcano.

Also it is recommended to visit the old soap-making site, the bodega– cause it is just impossible to be in France and not to visit it, and you can see the old cheese dairy in St. Nectaire where the old traditions of cheese making are still appreciated.

Well, it is time to come back. Edith Piaf will definitely be singing from one of French radios: “Non, rien de rien. Non, je ne regrette rien…” - “No, I do not regret about anything, I am ready to start everything from the up…” Indeed… what to regret about? Renewed from inside and outside, with new power and in harmony with yourself you again fly / drive toward your new daily adventures, with which life generously rewards us day by day.Voilà!

Witnesses said the apparent missile strike hit a home of longtime militant leader Jalaluddin Haqqani, who U.S. military officials say oversees one of the deadliest Taliban networks in Afghanistan. Locals said some foreigners were among the dead.

Since the end of August, there have been at least five reported missile strikes against targets in North and South Waziristan as well as a suspected U.S.-led raid on a Pakistani village near the Afghan border.

The reported operations indicate a sharp increase in U.S. and NATO attacks against suspected militants inside Pakistan, just as the country's new government prepares to replace former President Pervez Musharraf.

Missile strikes have traditionally provoked an outpouring of public resentment that Musharraf's political opponents used to help drive him from power.

But Pakistan's former ambassador to Afghanistan, Rustam Shah Mohmand, says many of those opponents are now seated in the new government - giving it broader political support and fewer high-profile critics.

"I think the government really is not concerned much about the domestic fallout because there is no leader who would challenge its position or who would rally people around him and launch a country-wide protest. So the coalition forces, the Americans, are taking full advantage of the situation where there is a sort of vacuum as far as leadership is concerned," he said.

The government has lodged protests with U.S officials over the strikes, but Mohmand says officials have also reconciled themselves that the missile operations will continue.

Meanwhile, Pakistan's incoming president, Asif Ali Zardari, has reached out to Afghanistan's leader following months of tension between the two countries over the Taliban insurgency.

Afghan President Hamid Karzai is expected to be among the invited guests at Mr. Zardari's presidential swearing in ceremony in Islamabad on Tuesday.
