France joins the party for Lake Champlain quadricentennial (canada.com)

From canada.com:

Vermont, New York and Quebec will mark in 2009 the 400th anniversary of Samuel de Champlain's first visit to the region and the exploration of the lake that now bears his name.
The great explorer was born in Brouage, France, in 1567, and now France has joined the celebrations.

Vermont officials and the French government recently signed a memorandum of understanding at the State House in Montpelier to actively cross-promote tourism in Vermont and France over the next three years with a primary focus on the Lake Champlain quadricentennial commemoration in 2009.
