In 1798 the "Directoire" (the Government) decided to raise taxes on... Windows and doors considered to be popular among the rich. Right away people started to wall their windows in order to avoid paying. There are still remains of this phenomenon nowadays, as you can see on this picture, taken rue de la Colombe in the 1st arrondissement.

    So, why don't people open up the windows now? I would! Great pic (as usual!).

    Some people think that IVF treatment is best option no doubt it is best and effective but also expensive while the tubal reversal cost is cheaper and effective than the IVF treatment. So i always suggest tubal reversal surgery to get pregnant.
