Bonjour,
and welcome to France! I have chosen
France as my culture and have found it to be a great place to learn about. The
reason I chose France was because I had taken French as a course here at Carmel
for two years, but I feel that there is so much more that I could still learn
about it. France is known for the Eiffel Tower located in Paris, and the Tour
de France, a multiple stage bicycle race which first started in 1903. Some well
known food from France are,
crêpes, Soupe à l'oignon, this
is a soup that contains, onions and beef with cheese on top, Cassoulet, which is a white bean stew,
and ratatouille. In France food is to be enjoyed and savored. Lunch
time in France is often 2 hours long so the French may appreciate the food much
more. Paris contains over 5,000 restaurants
alone. Fish, snails and wine is what I often think of when I hear of French cuisine.
French pastries are very popular as well and are known to have delicious
crepes, fruit tarts, and éclairs. The geography of France, it borders the
Mediterranean Sea and Atlantic Ocean and to the west of it is the Bay of
Biscay. Facts and figures about France,
there president is François Hollande
since 2012; it is an independent nation in Western Europe. In the 20th century France went
through many hardships, but managed to get through it and become a supplier of
agriculture. France also has a population of about 66 million people as
well.
