100 Years of Entente cordiale

Thursday April 8, 2004
The 8th of April marked the 100-year anniversary of the signing of Entente cordiale, an agreement between France and Britain which greatly improved relations between the two countries. In honor of this event, Queen Elizabeth visited France, and numerous newspapers from both sides of the Channel as well as the US took the opportunity to examine how Franco-British relations are faring today.
