The French province was a stinker!

Luckily I'd been there @jonsie so it fell right 'into my lap'. Messed up Scunthorpe though

Thank you @jonsie

Your comment is much appreciated.

I admit the French question was extremely difficult and came about when searching for a question on a place which had the name Valentine. Only one of the WRQ quizzers managed to answer in correctly.

Well done on getting the Silver Thinker +

Pleased you enjoyed this quiz.

Nice job everyone! I'm equally surprised and happy with my one star given how tough this quiz was. A real brain stretcher as always.

Thanks for running it @Mi-Amigo!
