Hello Buddy. I kiss you! Twice. But maybe this is a little unhygienic yes?. But from a country whose succulent food dishes contain so much garlic, a wise choice of greeting to avoid the lips no?  
 
MY HISTORY NOTES (PAGE ONE)

Here’s how the monarchy started. The first Celtic settlers arrived here around 500BC and were conquered by the Romans to create Gaul about 58BC. Then the Germanic tribes and Franks ruled the country around 500AD. The first Kingdom was created by the Frankish chief called Clovis 481AD and was the first to use Paris as it’s capitol, this Kingdom crumbled after his death in around 511AD. The first of the small emperors Pepin the short resurrected the Kingdom and founded a new dynasty called Carolingian. The great Charlemagne who created The Holy Roman Empire united most of Europe, France included around 770AD and when the Treaty of Verdun (843AD) split the Holy Roman Empire into three separate parts the borders of the France we know today were created. In the ninth century the royal lines began in Ernest, ending with madam le guillotine and a few chips off the old block.

March 1789. Lack of food, unfair taxes, corruption by officials, want of freedom of equality. The masses speak and are ignored.

The declaration of The Rights Of man was officially created, 26 august 1789, based on the American Declaration of Independence.

The last King (Louis XVI) was executed on 21 January 1793.
