Our French cultural heritage

French art Art is everywhere in France — particularly in Paris and other major cities — and Gothic, Romanesque Rococo and Neoclassic influences can be seen in many churches and other public buildings. Many of history's most renowned artists, including Claude Monet, Edgar Degas, and Camille Pissarro, sought inspiration in Paris, and they gave rise to the Impressionism movement. The Louvre Museum in Paris is among the world's largest museums and is home to many famous works of art, including the Mona Lisa and Venus de Milo.

ClothingParis is known as the home to many high-end fashion houses, such as Dior, Hermes, Louis Vuitton and Chanel. Many French people dress in a sophisticated, professional and fashionable style, but it is not overly fussy. Typical outfits include nice dresses, suits, long coats, scarves and berets.The term "haute couture" is associated with French fashion and loosely means fancier garments that are handmade or made to order.

Tennis Also among the popular French sports is tennis, and every year during springtime, the best clay-court specialists in the world converge on Roland Garros to test their skills. In fact, tennis is so popular in France that it ranks second only to football. The French Open The last Frenchman to win the French Open was Yannick Noah in 1983, while the last French woman, Mary Pierce, secured the title in 2000. The French Open itself dates back to 1891 as a national championship and was raised to international status in 1925.

History of French Football:Football first started to become popular in France at the turn of the 20th century (1897). In 1904 the French National Football team was created and the first match they played was against Belgium, later that year, with a 3-3 draw as the result. The French's success at an international level led to the creation of the French Football Federation in 1919. By 1920 the French Football Federation took over control of the French Cup. Currently, the FFF governs all of French football as well as selecting the players for the national team. The French football team is twice world champions: 1998/2018
