Patricia's
Factlets (formerly called "factoids")
Marc-Antoine
Charpentier
Why do we call our site "Ranums' Panat Times"?
The answer is simple: in theory (if not always in practice) we have abundant
"time" to read and think during our summers in a tiny French hilltop village, Panat,
situated in an area of south-central France that has been
described as "the lost upland" ("lost" in the sense that few tourists find their
way into its valleys and plateaus).

to be a Jesuit : instructions for the Paris Noviciate, circa 1685,
