FRANCE

The way I see it…

        You know what’s one of my favorite places to visit?  It is Eiffel tower! Do you know where it is located...? You got it! It is Paris, the capital of France. France is in Western Europe. Guess what the motto is? “Freedom, Equality and Brotherhood”. The France’s national anthem is a result of the French revolution. Do you know what French revolution is?  French revolution started when King Louis XVI was in power. The taxes were more on the people than the nobles and the people hardly had anything to eat. Queen Marie told them to eat cake. This made the people mad and they started killing nobles. It was gross. That time was called the Reign of Terror.

         Now to my favorite part
Tourist attractions:

· The Eiffel Tower was built in Paris in 1889 to mark the 100th anniversary of the revolution. It is one of the world’s tallest structures at 984ft.

· Palace of Versailles was built for King Louis XIV. It   took nearly 50 years to build it. The palace is surrounded by beautiful gardens. This is a testimony to the fact that the royals in France lead a very lavish lifestyle and were a lover of art.

France has lots of pretty cathedrals. 


Some of France’s famous people: 
Louis Pasteur was a scientist who founded vaccine that prevented rabies. He also found how to make milk safe to drink.
Pierre and Marie Curie discovered radioactivity. Claude Monet was a famous painter.

Some fun facts about France:
France is the birthplace of movies.
Ballet is a French dance with lots of French words. I take ballet classes. It is fun.
A bicycle race called Tour de France takes place every year.
French live their lives in a very grand manner.
I hope to go to France someday.  Would you?
