France is a country located in Europe. To most, France is known for its food, fashion, culture and language. It is the most visited tourist destination in the world, and maybe by the end of the month you’ll understand why. France is a leader among European nations, and holds an influential role globally. According to the BBC, there’s about 63.5 million people living in France. Their national motto is Liberté, égalitié, fraternité which translates into “Liberty, equality, fraternity.”

The French culture is considered by many to be very relaxed. Although the average day for a French person isn’t super different from that of an American. Though a couple of the biggest differences are: On average, the typical French person will work 35 hours in one week. A lot of businesses close between 12PM-2PM for lunch.

  1. Its like you read my mind! You appear to know so much about this, like you wrote
    the book in it or something. I think that you can do with a few pics to drive the message home a little bit,
    but instead of that, this is fantastic blog. An excellent
    read. I will definitely be back.

  2. Link exchange is nothing else but it is just placing the other person’s weblog link on your page at suitable place and other
    person will also do same in support of you.

  3. First off I would like to say superb blog! I had
    a quick question in which I’d like to ask if you don’t mind.
    I was curious to find out how you center yourself and clear your thoughts before writing.
    I’ve had a tough time clearing my thoughts in getting my
    ideas out there. I do enjoy writing however it just seems
    like the first 10 to 15 minutes are usually lost simply just trying to
    figure out how to begin. Any suggestions or tips?
    Many thanks!

  4. Hey I know this is off topic but I was wondering if you knew of any widgets I could add
    to my blog that automatically tweet my newest twitter
    updates. I’ve been looking for a plug-in like this for quite some time and was hoping maybe you would have some experience with something like this.
    Please let me know if you run into anything. I truly enjoy reading your blog
    and I look forward to your new updates.

  5. My programmer is trying to persuade me to move to .net from PHP.
    I have always disliked the idea because of the expenses.
    But he’s tryiong none the less. I’ve been using Movable-type on various websites for about a year and am anxious about switching to another platform.
    I have heard excellent things about blogengine.net. Is there a way I can transfer all my wordpress posts into it?
    Any help would be really appreciated!

  6. You actually make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this matter to be actually something that I think I would never understand.
    It seems too complex and very broad for me. I’m looking forward for your
    next post, I will try to get the hang of it!

  7. Simply wish to say your article is as surprising. The clarity to
    your put up is just great and that i can think
    you are knowledgeable in this subject. Well along with
    your permission let me to grab your feed to keep up to date with
    drawing close post. Thank you one million and please carry on the
    gratifying work.

  8. The other day, while I was at work, my sister stole my iPad and tested to see if it can survive a
    forty foot drop, just so she can be a youtube sensation. My iPad
    is now destroyed and she has 83 views. I know this is completely off topic but I had to share it
    with someone!

  9. I think that everything composed made a ton of
    sense. But, what about this? what if you typed a catchier post title?
    I mean, I don’t wish to tell you how to run your website, however
    suppose you added something to possibly get a person’s attention?
    I mean Basic Facts – Bryanna Vs The World is a little boring.
    You should glance at Yahoo’s home page and note how they create post titles to get people interested.

    You might add a video or a pic or two to grab people excited about everything’ve written. Just my opinion, it
    would bring your posts a little livelier.

    share the same interest. If you have any suggestions, please let me know.
