Government The government of France is a unitary semi-
presidential republic (France Wikipedia). This means the single
national government has a higher power than the states and that
they have both a president and a prime minister. They have
democratic elections (Semi-Presidential System & Unitary
State)

Food Known for very good wine. Although French cuisine has a
reputation as a grand national feature, regional differences are
marked. Some local dishes have achieved international fame, even if
they are often poorly imitated. Among these are the seafood soup,
bouillabaisse, from Marseille; andouillette, a form of sausage from
Lyon; choucroute, pickled cabbage from Alsace; and magret de
canard, slices of breast of duck from Bordeaux. France is also
renowned for the range and quality of its cheeses (France

Impressions France seems to be an old culture with a modern,
sophisticated view of the future. It has a long history and has
influenced other countries around the world. But I think the French
want to be cool with their fancy food and clothing. I think the
French are proud people.
