France: the hexagon, the country of the Enlightenment, the land of human rights. Many nicknames have been bestowed on this country, yet they do not even begin enough to cover all its aspects.<\/p>\n

France is known all around the world for Paris and its monuments such as the Eiffel Tower and the Notre-Dame cathedral. French people are very passionate about their culture and art, which is showcased in many museums like the Louvre. French cuisine is internationally renowned, from bread and macaroons to wine and champagne.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Let’s take a closer look at the cultural icons and symbols that make France world famous.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Eiffel Tower<\/h2>\n

\"Eiffel<\/p>\n

The Eiffel Tower <\/strong>is the most internationally recognized symbol of France<\/strong>. It was never intended to become a part of French culture, however – after its construction for the Universal Exhibition in Paris <\/strong>in 1889, the Iron Lady was supposed to be dismantled.<\/p>\n

Yet the Tower remains to this day for the enjoyment of tourists. Standing 300 meters high, it provides an unparalleled view of the entire city of Paris.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Arc de Triomphe<\/em><\/h2>\n

\"The<\/p>\n

Construction of the arch was begun by Napoleon I<\/strong>, but was left unfinished in 1836. Today, the Arc de Triomphe<\/strong><\/a><\/em> is one of the most symbolic monuments in France<\/strong>. Whether for its aesthetics, its unique architecture, or its historical symbolism, the Arc de Triomphe<\/em> remains important to French citizens and foreigners alike.<\/p>\n

The arch is home to the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier<\/strong>, who was killed during the First World War, as well as the flame of remembrance that commemorates all of the soldiers who died for France.<\/p>\n

You can visit the arch during the day or night and enjoy a unique view of the Champs \u00c9lys\u00e9es<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Notre-Dame<\/em><\/h2>\n

\"Notre-Dame\"<\/p>\n

The cathedral of Notre-Dame is a masterpiece of Gothic architecture. After being under construction for 150 years, it was finally inaugurated in 1345.<\/p>\n

In the French people\u2019s collective memory, it\u2019s an enduring symbol of Paris <\/strong>and French culture. Though it has been represented in movies, cartoons, and even the theater, we never get tired of seeing the old lady.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The cathedral is currently closed to the public after a devastating fire in 2019, but we hope to be able to return and visit this monument soon when renovations are complete.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Baguette<\/em><\/h2>\n

\"The<\/p>\n

The French baguette <\/em><\/strong>is the flower of French cuisine<\/strong>, and bread <\/strong>is one of the most common foods in France.<\/p>\n

Eaten as a sandwich or a side dish, the baguette <\/em>is a staple in French meals.<\/p>\n

Due to the great care and pride that surround this French craft, the French baguette <\/em>is unequaled and unique.<\/p>\n

A small culinary pleasure that will cost you less than \u20ac1 and is ubiquitous in France<\/strong>, the baguette <\/em>is an must-have delight.<\/p>\n
