French
Probably the first thing that comes to mind when you think of French language and culture is romance, then
maybe gourmet food and wine, then maybe great art, but remember France also has a practical side. Whether
you're romantic or down-to-earth, take note of these facts:
• France is the world's fourth largest economic power
• More tourists visit France than anywhere else
• More than 400,000 Americans are employed by French companies
• Canada, our largest trading partner, has a significant French speaking population
