We will discover why such famous authors such as F. Scott Fitzgerald, Ernest Hemingway, James Joyce, and others flocked to Paris as the cultural capitol of Europe. According to the online France Travel Guide "When it comes to style, art, culture, food and drink, the French are the undisputed kings and Paris is their crown jewel". You'll learn to sing the French national anthem, la Marseillaise, and learn why the fleur-de-lys has always been 'such a good luck charm for French kings.

But French-speaking culture does not stop at France's borders - Pas du tout! There is a vast Francophonie beyond the land of Louis XIV and Madame de Maintenon. Indeed, two out of every three Francophones live outside of France. The Francophonie, an official organization, consists of 56 member states with others as Associates. From Cameroon to Côte d’Ivoire, the DOM-TOM, Seychelles to Djibouti, all share a common cultural heritage. We will learn this and so much more in the next 15 weeks. Bon voyage and allons-y (we're off)!
