Name of Aachen Disregarding the pronunciation Aix is quite often left out in France Before I learnt that in railway signs it was almost always named La Capelle I had troubble since on many trains between Paris and Hamburg you have to change in Aachen According to my sister living in France the reason is thet there are many Aix in France so they shorten it to the significant part AND should that not be entered in the table of maning in different languages
