France is a country with a lot of impact on food, clothing, art, and other parts of popular culture. Ask four super-special grownups and we bet that at least two of them studied the French language in high school or college! Do you like crepes or croissants? They started in France!
It is the most popular tourist destination in the world. There is much to see there in nature as well as many famous paintings and beautiful architecture.
It is part of the European Union which includes twenty-six other states of government.
The official name of France is the Republic of France. It is based in Western Europe and it also includes territories in other parts of the world. New Caledonia is one territory that is working to become an independent country. In December New Caledonians will vote to see if they will remain part of France or become independent.
