Geoff Hare

worked for 30 years as a lecturer in French Studies in higher education, and his French Links list is well known as an excellent gateway to information about contemporary France and things French. It has been available to the academic community and beyond since 1997 and currently contains over 700 different links. Its organisation is idiosyncratic and reflects Geoff's interests, but lists many sites in France and elsewhere, mainly official sites and academic sites, rather than personal ones.
