Worth knowing about France
The french climate
As one of Europe's largest countries, it's not possible to declare just one climate in France and the weather here varies as much as the landscape of the country. In general, there are four climate zones in France. In the north, the weather is maritime moderate with pleasant and not-too-hot temperatures. In the mountains the weather is cooler with snowy winters and warm sunny summers. The Atlantic coast has mild winters and hot summers and the weather is generally unstable. The sunny south of France has a subtropical climate with warm temperatures and plenty of sunshine.
French cuisine
France - with its world-famous dishes, famous chefs and many culinary secrets - is considered by many to be the birthplace of fine cuisine and good taste. Food is not just food in France - it is culture.
With dishes such as Coq au Vin (chicken in red wine sauce), foie gras (foie gras), tarte flambée or the heavenly crème brûlèe, French food has become world famous. However, the simple things are also good and there are few things better than a freshly baked baguette with fresh butter and cheese, a crispy croissant with jam or just a glass of strong Burgundy wine - well, you're in heaven. The freshness of the raw materials and the love of the dishes are key elements of good French food. So remember to enjoy it.
