Mille Collines

The French expression Mille Collines ( Eng . Thousand Hills ) is often used to characterize Rwanda , which is an extremely hilly country.

As a result, Pays des Mille Collines almost became a synonym for Rwanda and the expression Mille Collines became part of the name of institutions in Rwanda, such as the Radio-Télévision Libre des Mille Collines or the Hôtel des Mille Collines in Kigali .
