with a total population of 2.13 million. French has been the
official language of France since 1992, but has been the official
language of the country for legal documents and laws since 1539.
 The French language evolved from vulgar Latin, which was used
during the Roman Empire. This language is believed to have
appeared in the northern region of present-day France and
gradually evolved into Old French and Middle French,
respectively. Today, modern French is considered part of the
Indo-European language family and belongs to the Romanian
language subgroup.

the Tomb of the Unknown
Soldier from the First
World War. The
Unknown Soldier is
commemorated every
November 11, the day of
the armistice signed
between France and
Germany in 1918.
The Eiffel Tower is a famous construction

widespread symbol of France worldwide.
The Louvre Museum is the

is a monument of early Gothic
architecture in France, the seat
of the Archdiocese of Paris. The
cathedral is located on the Île de
la Cité in central Paris.The

columns.
 The Moulin Rouge is a
cabaret venue built in 1889
by Joseph Oller, who owned
the Olympia auditorium in
the Montmartre district of

can dance. Today, the Moulin

Ne me quitte pas”
French Music de Jacques Brel
 At the top of the list was a
revolutionary love song
about France at a time when
men were not allowed to cry
for women they no longer
wanted. Confronted with
this man who first brought
out such a masculine
sensibility, many people
revolted against her. In
particular, Edith Piaf, who
considered the song parallel
to a complete lack of virility.
In any case, it remains the
best-selling piece of the
Hymne à l’amour de
Edith Piaf

 Edith Piaf wrote this song


for the man she loved.
During her New York tour
in 1948, love was born.
The idyllic romance ended
in 1949 when Marcel
Cerdan died in a plane
crash. After this tragedy,
Edith Piaf wrote a song that
quickly became one of her
biggest hits: the love
anthem.
Thank you for your
attention!
