France is about 80% the size of Texas. In the Alps near the Italian and Swiss borders is Western Europe’s
highest point – Mont Blanc (15,781 ft; 4,810 m). The forest-covered Vosges Mountains are in the northeast, and
the Pyrénées are along the Spanish border. Except for extreme northern France, the country may be described as
four river basins and a plateau. Three of the streams flow west—the Seine into the English Channel, the Loire
into the Atlantic, and the Garonne into the Bay of Biscay. The Rhône flows south into the Mediterranean. For
about 100 mi (161 km), the Rhine is France’s eastern border. In the Mediterranean, about 115 mi (185 km) eastsoutheast
of Nice, is the island of Corsica (3,367 sq mi; 8,721 sq km).
Dear Very Worshipful Brother Rick Howes,
Thank you very much for your e-mail.
Please find here below the answers of your requested questions.
My Lodge, Chrestion de Troyes No. 398 of GLNF, received the Gavel on September 19 th , 2009 presented by
our Belgian Brother Lodge Master Bruno Monaco.
Today the gavel is currently owned by my Worshipful Master: Dominique Naert and its secretary Robert
Buissiere, both in copy of this email.
Our Lodge is composed of 30 Brothers and we’re working on REAA.
We’ll likely present the Gavel to “Fidelite et Prudence” Lodge at Geneve in Switzerland which belongs to
the “Grande Loge Alpina Reguliere Suisse” and works also on REAA.
Troyes is a 120,000 inhabitants city with middle age style architecture (for reference please have a look on
Wikipedia’s webpage: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troyes), located in Champagne.
I’ll keep you posted about the date the Gavel will be presented as soon as the date is confirmed.
Sincerely & Fraternally,
Past Master Jean-Marie Monaco
