(It's funny, I thought that I never forgot the names of all of the state capitals since as you know it is obligatory to learn them in American schools and they remain in your brain forever, but I had completely forgotten Hartford and would have lost the quiz unless it was multiple choice.)
Forges-les-Eaux - insignificant French spa town which was very famous for its casino for more than a hundred years due to a French law that prevented any casino from opening less than 100 kilometres from Paris (Paris has been punished for all sorts of real or imagined crimes over the years.).
