Enrich Your Itineraries
You need to take a few Places or roundabouts and one or two house-blocks
get to the avenue des Ternes a la Trinite, a nice walk, which uses ELEVEN
arteries each beginning with the letter M. Although, this is not a completely
regular itinerary, it appears to me sufficiently interesting to be proposed to
your sagacity.

Presidential Specials
1. Of the 19 presidents of the 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th Republics, just under
two-thirds, exactly 13, have given their names to a street in Paris, even if,
for three of them (Emile Loubet, Armand Falliere and Said Carnot) it is not
even three modest villas beside Buttes-Chaumont.
Who are six Presidents of the Republic whom Paris have not deigned fit to
remember?
2. Defeated candidates are often definitively erased. Of Eleven politicians
who ran in presidential elections, only one, Chanzy, has a street in Paris; he
was defeated by Jules Grevy in 1879.
Can you find those who competed against the following 10 others who ran?
Bedouce - Camelinat - Champetier de Ribes - Delory - General Février -
A. de la Forge - Jonnart - Marraud - Meline - general Saussier.
