France - Must-see Attractions

PEOPLE AND LANGUAGE

The French people represent mixed ancestries with physical differences and regional dialects. The northern accents are close to standard French; those of the south have highly distinctive nasal vowel sounds.  The Occitan dialect of the south is derived from the Provencal language of the Middle Ages. It is reported that the most marked language differences are in outlying areas: Catalan, spoken in the eastern Pyrenees; Breton, a Celtic language of Brittany; the Germanic dialect of Alsace; and Flemish (similar to Dutch) spoken along the border with Belgium. The Basque language of the western Pyrenees (also spoken in northern Spain) is linguistically unique among European languages.

CULTURE AND RELIGION

The French culture has enriched the world from playwrights, artists, philosophers, writers, composers, film directors, sculptors and more.  The French are also known for its fashion and food.  French cuisine has come to dominate the tables of the world.

There is no state church in France. The majority of the people belong to the Roman Catholic Church.  There are large Protestant and Jewish minorities, and a large number of Muslims among the immigrant-based communities from Northern Africa.

TOURISM

For the last two decades, fabulous France has been the world’s favorite tourism destination, seeing no less than 81 million visitors on average every year. Foodies, shopaholics, history buffs, culture vultures, beach bunnies, winter sports lovers, families, and eco-tourists all flock to France for their vacation, knowing they won’t be disappointed with something for everyone. The country is one of Europe’s most geographically diverse, with its cities home to unrivalled cultural treasures and superb architecture. The countryside is dotted with ancient castles and chateaux, set in stunning natural beauty, and the French wines and cuisine are among the finest in the world.

EDUCATION

France has an excellent public education system, so much so that private education is less popular there.  Most private schools are Roman Catholic. Public education is free at all levels and compulsory between the ages of 6 and 16. After primary education up to age 11, lycees or grammar schools prepare students for the national baccalaureate examinations; others go on to secondary colleges providing general or technical education.

Higher education was reformed after the student unrest of 1968 and now consists of multidisciplinary universities, polytechnics and professional colleges such as medical schools.
