French People

For centuries the French have taken pride in the sophistication of their culture, the beauty of their spoken language, and their diverse accomplishments in literature, the arts, and sciences. Even French cuisine and clothing fashions have long been a source of national pride. During the second half of the 20th century, as French society grew increasingly middle class and consumer oriented, a new set of attitudes and pursuits appeared alongside these elitist cultural attitudes. Material comforts, such as homes, new appliances, and automobiles, became synonymous with a high standard of living

France...

France is one of the oldest states in Europe, but France appears only to that name from the Middle Ages on a date difficult to specify irrefutably. It fully recognizes the historical antecedent of Gaul as France, while the European Galia occupied an area slightly larger than today's France. In European hegemonic wars imposed France tried several times and at different times thus faced almost all of Europe (separately or together as a counterweight to French expansionism). Such was the case with Charlemagne (Charles I, "The Great") in the ninth century, Louis XIV ( "The Sun King") in the seventeenth century, and I Napoleon Bonaparte (Napoleon "The Great") in the nineteenth century.

France is the most visited country in the world. It has everything that you could ever want to see on your life like a great city like Paris, a lot of beaches, more monuments than other countries and lovely nature. France is also a very pleasant place to stay. It has good food, great wines and people enjoy their lives. And the best thing is, maybe apart from Paris, living in France does not have to be expensive.
Paris, the city of light are one of the most visited areas. Paris is without a doubt one of the most beautiful cities on the planet. West of France is turned towards the Atlantic Coast. In the north Normandy & Brittany have rolling hills, sandy beaches and quiet little harbor towns.

Albertville, Grenoble and Chamonix have all hosted the Olympic Games. But the Alps also have nice towns to visit, such as Chambery, Annecy or Grenoble.
The South with its lovely nature, good food, roman ruins and of course the Riviera draws a lot of visitors every year. Towns like Orange, and Arles but also big cities like Marseille and Toulon are must sees. The Provence is dotted with pleasant small villages. In the South west of France the Dordogne is one of the most quintessential French regions. The valley is so pretty, the towns are so cute and the food is so good, that it is hard to believe that the people who live here go somewhere else for their holidays.
