Honorable Pierre Vimont Coming to theHudson River Valley

After several visits recently to France I am glad that the Hudson River Valley is getting a visit from a VIP Frenchman, the Ambassador himself. The Honorable, Pierre Vimont will be in good hands as he will be shown around by long time congressman and good guy Mo Hinchey. I fully plan on joining in on this great occasion and spread the news joyously. The French Tourism people have been ever so good to me and my fellow GoNOMAD writers. Below is part of the email I got about the day.

We are delighted to invite you to join Rep. Maurice Hinchey and Rep. Nita Lowey in welcoming The Honorable Pierre Vimont, Ambassador of France to the United States, who will visit and tour the Hudson River Valley National Heritage Area on Saturday, July 25, 2009.

The Ambassador will participate in a number of public events to celebrate the passage earlier this year of federal legislation that formally designated the Washington-Rochambeau Revolutionary Route National Historic Trail. The "W3R" Trail traces and commemorates the 600-mile route from Newport, Rhode Island to Yorktown, Virginia taken in 1781 and 1782 by the armies of General George Washington and General Jean-Baptiste de Rochambeau of France.Call (845) 344-3211 for info.
