Francis I 1st left many legacies which, even today, have consequences for our lives

Since the Gallo-Roman period, official documents

were written in latin

In 1539 by ordinance of Villers Cotterêts François

I made the decision that they would henceforth be written in

French so that everyone can understand them

He thus ordered that the French language become the language

official of the kingdom

Francis I also decided that churches should keep lists of baptisms, marriages and deaths.

In this way, we could know the age of each French person and the important events in his life. This is
the origin of the civil status

Hello,

my name is Leonardo da Vinci! I am a famous Italian artist that Francis I invited to come and live in
France in 1516.

I accepted and brought back in my luggage some paintings

, including my favorite, “La Joconde”.

François I bought it for me. This is how

that the painting remained in France Nowadays, it is

exhibited at the Louvre in Paris.

500 years after François I 1st, the Loire châteaux attract

every year millions of visitors from all over the world

They help make France the number one tourist country in the world

Francis I 1st is a king still very well known today who left us many legacies which continue to
influence our current life.

He first made the French language the language used in official documents

This king is also at the origin of the creation of the civil status (which allows to know the age of each
Frenchman and the important events of his life

It is also thanks to François I 1st that "La Joconde", one of the most famous paintings by Leonardo da
Vinci, is now on display in France at the Louvre Museum

Fascinated by the Italian Renaissance, François I 1st finally had many buildings built in France,
including the magnificent castles of the Loire
Francis I wanted to enlarge the kingdom of France

To this end he undertook wars against Italy and

the empire of Charles V his neighbors In 1515 he won a resounding victory at Marignan against the
Swiss but failed to conquer new territories during his reign

He was as interested in America as he was in Europeans

had just discovered, and encouraged explorations including those of Jacques Cartier in Canada

In the 16th and 16th centuries, the French population consisted mainly of almost all Catholic
peasants, who respected the king and his authority.

La

France was a rich country

She experienced strong economic growth which

allowed the nobles to the great merchants and the

rich farmers to get richer

But the small peasants remained poor

Francis I strengthened royal power

He ruled alone and returned to his subjects an image of a mighty king

He fought to expand his kingdom in Italy and notably won the Battle of Marignan in 1515

From Francis I onwards the kings also encouraged expeditions to discover new lands to take control
and exploit their wealth.

In 1534 the navigator Jacques Cartier thus explored Canada for the benefit of the King of France and
created a colony there

The Renaissance is an artistic movement born in Italy in the

15th century

Reported to France by King Francis I 1st he went there

developed
Renaissance artists sought to accurately represent the human body and its attitudes as well as
perspective

Unlike artists of earlier periods, they no longer painted and sculpted not only religious scenes but
also antique stories.

Thinkers of the time, humanists were thinking about how to make men more learned and society
more tolerant and just

Francis I discovered the Renaissance during the wars in Italy and allowed the development of this
artistic movement in France

He brought in Italian artists such as Leonardo da Vinci and commissioned works of art from paintings,
sculptures,

Some of them built or expanded its castles Amboise, Blois, Chambord and Fontainebleau

With his sister, Marguerite of Navarre, Francis I also protected French artists and poets.

He was a friend of the arts a patron

The king also encouraged the great lords to follow his example by having other castles built and in
turn commissioning works of art.

Francis I (1st) loved literature. He surrounded himself with writers and poets.

It favored the development of the printing press, developed in the 15th (15th) century by the
German Gutenberg: it made it possible to make many more books than when they were
handwritten.

He also encouraged the creation of libraries and built up an important collection of books for himself.

From the beginning of the 15th (15th) century, a new artistic movement was born in Italy: the
Renaissance.

Painters and sculptors, encouraged by patron kings, drew inspiration from Antiquity to create their
works.

Francis I (1st), who pursued a policy of conquest in Italy from the end of the fifteenth (15th) century,
was heavily involved in the spread of the Renaissance in France by bringing to his Court many artists,
such as Leonard de Vinci.

They made many works for him, such as the castle of Chambord
