History of France
Before you visit a place it is interesting to have a feel for its
history, to get a better sense of what has come before. As the home
of prehistoric man in Europe and the place where so many battles
have been fought over the last 1000 years, France has a fascinating
history. Read about
prehistory in
France, then a more modern history
of France, mostly in the middle ages, such as the
cathar religion and battles and the later wars
such as the
Hundred Years War,
and the
Wars of Religion.

traditional (and easy to prepare) easy French

some more French recipes, and also a guide to what you should drink in
