Does anyone know if France had the "made in" laws that the UK had from the 1920s?

 

We used to pass Longwy every time we went to France, back in the day. So yes it is a place, and it has an impressive fortress. It is right near the Luxemburg and Belgian borders, so part of our route south from the southeastern Netherlands.
This is also a statement of little help.

It is a feature of many Western European Continental Art Deco pieces. I think it looks nice with the angularity of Art Deco.

 

I seem to recall getting badly lost in the rather dire industrial area......

 

That is the depressing part of Longwy, just like some other northeastern French towns have. When I was little I used to think all of Longwy was like that, until one holiday we stopped for a break and went to the citadel.

 

We were en route to Luxembourg, as I recall. Lovely place, biggest portions of food ever. I do like their wine, but you never see it here.
