The capital and by far the most important city of France is Paris, one of the world’s preeminent cultural

and
commercial centers. It is a majestic city known as the ville lumière, or “city of light”

Most people associate French culture as the center of fashion, cuisine, art and architecture

Historically, French culture was influenced by Celtic and Gallo-Roman cultures as well as the Franks. France was
initially defined as the western area of Germany known as Rhineland.

French is the official language and the first language of 88 percent of the population.

The French believe in égalité, which means equality, and is part of the country's motto: "Liberté, Egalité, Fraternité."

Food and wine are central for the French. It is common to see baguettes being carried home. Cheeses are also an
essential part of any French meal. Many associate French cuisine with heavy sauces and complicated preparation.
An example of a classic French dish is the boeuf bourguignon.

Paris is known as the home to many high-end fashion houses, such as Dior, Hermes, Louis Vuitton and Chanel. Many
French people dress in a fashionable style.

Art is everywhere in France — particularly in Paris. The Louvre Museum is among the world's largest museums and
is home to many famous works of art, including the Mona Lisa.
