Bonjour!
As some of you know, I was off once again to see some of my family who live in France. I love it there, and the people are so nice and inviting! My cousin, his family and some friends live outside of Paris. My sister and her family live in the French Alps in a small village with great skiing! The landscape is amazing and the food is incredible. And although we live thousands of miles apart, thanks to the internet and Skype, I can visit and see my family and friends who live all over the world. It IS a small world after all!
So here are some fun facts about France and a little French lesson too:
Capital: Paris
Language: French
Ne vous escaladez les montagnes? (Do you climb mountains?) The highest mountain is Mont Blanc in the French Alps. It rises to 4,807m (15,771 ft). Mount Blanc is also the highest peak in the whole of Europe. Btw, I could see it when we were skiing!
Vous aimez le fromage? (Do you like cheese?) More than 350 kinds of cheese are made in France.
Avez-vous une bicyclette ? (Do you have a bicycle?) Every summer more than 100 professional cyclists race in the Tour de France. The race is approximately 2,000 miles long. The race lasts up to three weeks and is held in July. The route changes from year to year.
Vous aimez l’art? (Do you like art?) The Louvre is one of the largest art museums in the world. Some of the paintings exhibited there are from the French artists Monet, Cezanne, and Renoir. The Mona Lisa by Leonardo Da Vinci is there too.
Avez-vous faim? (Are you hungry?) Then try some dishes such as quiche, soufflés, mousse, pâté, croissants, crêpes, French bread and my personal favorite….fondue.
J’aime la Tour Eiffel! (I love the Eiffel Tower!) Visit here for facts about the Tower.
