France is fantastic

- We don't eat Frog leg soup everyday in France

- Yearly, it rains more in Paris than in London (Check it on World Climate website)

- It is not the daisy, but the iris that is the national flower of France

- Wine can only be labeled "Champagne" if it is made in the Champagne region of France (North East)

- The rumor has it... that the "coupe" (the oblong glass used for drinking champagne) of champagne was modeled in the shape of Marie Antoinette's breast! (Too bad Boob jobs did not exist at that time...)

- Mont blanc is not only a delicious creamy dessert, it is also the highest mountain in the Alps and Western Europe

- French like to make fun of people, especially the Belgians.

- French was the official language of England for over 300 years!

- French loves to complain and believe that Canadians don't speak French.

Au revoir.
