Like SB, I haven’t got a clue either Johnny P, but to bring your post back to the top, I thought I’d tell you something truly fascinating that you really wanted to know. Stockport is twinned with one of our Languedoc towns, Beziers. As a languedoc resident, it's my duty to inform you of that very interesting fact.  Admit it, you wanted to know that, didn’t you? If you already know, then it's my duty to ensure you don't forget. Seriously though, are you talking proms as in American school proms or music events?  Pray tell!    Report

I can hear voices, but I don't know where they're coming from......... To the OP - if you mean a big end-of-collège bash (or ball) before going on to lycée, then mostly no.   It smacks of fun-filled, extra-curricular activity, and what good would that be in the creation of future citizens of the Republic?      One may tolerate a world of demons for the sake of an angel.    Report

Sorry, ah yes Proms.  I hope there is such a thing.  My daughter has been planning hers since she is three.  Dont tell me we are moving to France for her terminale and no Proms For those who dont know, it is an American thing.  Simply an school leavers party where the young fillies can take the opportunity to wear a posh frock.  Not a big deal for the boys but very important for the girls.      Report
