In french, "grange" is a common word meaning barn.  Along with the 
use of the words "patissi�re" and "m�chant", I am starting to think 
that Stratoins might have some french ancestry.  We will see in 
later chapters if more french words are used.

Wether grange comes from the french word for barn or comes from the 
definition given to us by John, it expresses well the fact that the 
city is an agricultural center.
