A teenage peasant girl once saved France from England. Her name was Joan of Arc, and she was 17 when she started winning battles.
France sits in Western Europe, bordered by oceans, mountains, and six other countries. Paris is the capital, and nearly 90 million tourists visit every year. That's more than France has people.
Gauls were the first to call this land home. Julius Caesar showed up around 50 BCE and conquered them for Rome. The French language grew from Latin mixed with local words.
The Hundred Years' War with England had dragged on for over a century. Joan turned the tide, crowned a king, and became a national hero. The English burned her at the stake. France never forgot.
The French Revolution in 1789 changed everything. Crowds stormed a prison called the Bastille. King Louis XVI and Queen Marie Antoinette both lost their heads to the guillotine.
Napoleon Bonaparte grabbed power after the chaos. He conquered most of Europe before finally losing at Waterloo. French laws and ideas spread everywhere his armies marched.
World War I turned French fields into trenches and graveyards. World War II brought German occupation until D-Day in 1944. France rebuilt and became a founding member of what's now the European Union.
Disneyland Paris brings the magic for kids. The Louvre has the Mona Lisa, always surrounded by crowds. Versailles shows how fancy kings lived before people got angry enough to revolt.
French people take food seriously. Croissants, baguettes, and crepes appear at every turn. Over 400 types of cheese exist here, and yes, they eat snails.
Bastille Day on July 14th celebrates the revolution with fireworks everywhere. The Tour de France sends cyclists up brutal mountains each summer. Nice throws a flower-filled Carnival.
France invented the metric system, pasteurization, and movies. The Lumière brothers screened the first films in Paris. Louis Braille created his reading system here too.
French culture shaped art, fashion, and food worldwide. From impressionist paintings to haute couture, France still shapes how we eat, dress, and live. Not bad for a nation once saved by a teenager.
