F is For France
As part of my family history France has always held a special place in my heart as far as places I want to write about go. My great grandparents met and fell in love in France, it was my great grandmother's home and one day I want to travel there and see where my things got started for my family. I had a very hard time even beginning to narrow down all the interesting things there are to say about France because really being that it has so much history, and is a major power center in the world how do you say only a few things? 1) The oldest traces of human life in France date from approximately 1.8 million years ago. (that's flipping awesome) 2) France was one of the first countries to have an environment ministry in 1971. 3) There are 47,000 religious buildings in France 94% of which are Roman Catholic.
