I will try to present the France to you.
  • The official language is the French. 
  • The capital is Paris.
  • The money is Euro (1€ = 60 Rs)
  • The republic currency : freedom, egality, fraternity
  • National Anthem: La marseillaise. It's a war song wrote during the French revolution (1789).

  •  Area: 675 417 Km2
  • Population: 66 000 000 people in 2011
  • More important city: Paris (2,2 million), Marseille (851 000) and Lyon (475 000). 

  • French people are always no happy. There is always something which go wrong (You can recognize a French tourist like that)
  • France is a state of European Union. So French people have all advantages of Schengen area (no VISA or passport to go in Europe, no new drive licence, etc...)
 
  • The climat is tempered.
 (Green = ocean climat, Blue = Continental climat, Red = Meditérannée Climat, Purple = High mountain climat).
  • There are a lot of mountains but the two principales are the Alpes and the Pyrénées.
I will complete the presentation of France with the time and with presentation of city and area of it.
