3. Localizacion
• Francia tiene una superficie total 551.000 km ², por lo que es el
tercer país más grande de Europa después de Rusia y Ucrania, la
nación gala tiene una forma más o menos parecida a la de un
hexágono y comparte sus fronteras con siete países: con España y el
pequeño estado de Andorra en el suroeste, mientras que en el
sureste de Francia se encuentra la frontera con Italia.
• Hacia el este de Francia comparte la frontera con Suiza, mientras
que el noreste de Francia tiene fronteras con Alemania,
Luxemburgo y Bélgica. Muchas de las fronteras de Francia son
montañosas en consideración tanto las fronteras del sur con España
e Italia, donde los Pirineos y los Alpes se encuentran,
respectivamente, mientras que las fronteras en el noreste de
Francia son por el contrario sobre las llanuras, cosa que ha causado
problemas con las invasiones de los países vecinos a lo largo de la
historia.
4. • Location of France
• France lies on the western edge of the European continent and shares borders
with six neighbours: Belgium and Luxembourg to the north, Germany and
Switzerland to the east, Italy to the southeast and Spain to the southwest. Thus it
forms a bridge linking northern and southern Europe and joining the countries in
the central part of the continent to those in the east. Its extensive coastline gives
France a natural outlet toward America and Africa.
• The territory of France is compact and is often represented as a hexagon of which
each axis measures just under 1,000 km. With a total area of 550,000 sq. km.,
France ranks as a medium-sized country on the world scale. However, it is the
largest country in Western Europe, bigger than Spain, Germany or the United
Kingdom.
• Because of its extensive network of modern communications, France is a real hub
in Europe. The eastern reaches of the country abut the great industrial and urban
area stretching from the mouth of the Rhine to the plains of the Po River. It is also
within easy reach of the industrial centres of the United Kingdom and the other
countries lying on the North Sea. To the south it is an integral part of the
Mediterranean arc running from Catalonia to central Italy.
5. Climate
• Four climactic types prevail in France. A true temperate maritime climate is found in the west, near
the coasts, and is exemplified at BREST, where winters are mild (7 deg C/45 deg F in January),
summers are cool (16 deg C/61 deg F in July), and rainfall is frequent (800 mm/32 in) during 180
days of the year. A mid-latitude continental climate prevails in the interior of the country, with
hotter summers (average July temperature of 18 deg C/64 deg F in PARIS) and more rigorous
winters (average January temperature of 2 deg C/36 deg F in Paris), and rain falls on fewer days of
the year.
• A mountain climate prevails at high elevations, where temperatures are influenced mainly by
altitude, and winters are generally bitterly cold and prolonged. Precipitation increases with
elevation and occurs in the form of snow in winter, many villages in the high valleys receiving more
than 50 days of snow each year. Briancon, in the Alps, has a mean temperature of -2 deg C (28 deg
F) in January, and 17 deg C (63 deg F) in July; annual precipitation averages 587 mm (23 in). A
Mediterranean type of climate is found in a zone about 20 to 60 km (12 to 35 mi) wide along the
Mediterranean coast. It is characterized by hot, dry summers, mild and humid winters, and a small
number of rainy days during the year. In MARSEILLE, 550 mm (22 in) of rain falls during 60 days of
the year, and the sun shines for more than 3,000 hours each year. The average temperature is 7 deg
C (45 deg F) in January and 23 deg C (73 deg F) in July.
7. • France's trade is one of the largest in the world. France exports and imports various raw materials, automobiles and electronic

20. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_cuisine
• Breakfast
• Café with a croissant for breakfast
• Le petit déjeuner (breakfast) is often a quick meal consisting of tartines (slices) of French bread with jelly or
jam, croissants, pain aux raisins orpain au chocolat also named chocolatine in the south of France (a pastry filled
with chocolate) along with coffee or tea.[12] Children often drinkhot chocolate in bowls along with their breakfasts.
Breakfast of some kind is always served in cafés opening early in the day.
• [edit]Lunch
• Le déjeuner (lunch) is a two hour mid-day meal, but it has recently seen a trend towards the one hour lunch break.
In some smaller towns and in the south of France, the two hour lunch may still be customary. Sunday lunches are
often longer and are taken with the family.[13]Restaurants normally open for lunch at noon and close at 2:30 pm.
Some restaurants close on Monday during lunch.[14]
• In large cities, a majority of working people and students eat their lunch at a corporate or school cafeteria, which
normally serve complete meals as described above; it is therefore not usual for students to bring their own lunch
food. It is common for white-collar workers to be given lunch vouchers as part of their employee benefits. These
can be used in most restaurants, supermarkets and traiteurs; however, workers having lunch in this way typically
do not eat all three dishes of a traditional lunch due to price and time considerations. In smaller cities and
towns, some working people leave their workplaces to return home for lunch, generating four rush hours during
the day. Finally, an alternative also popular, especially among blue-collar workers, is to lunch on a
sandwich, possibly followed with a dessert; both dishes can be found ready-made at bakeries and supermarkets
for budget prices.
• [edit]Dinner
• Le dîner (dinner) often consists of three courses, hors d'œuvre or entrée (appetizers or introductory
course, sometimes soup), plat principal (main course), and a cheese course or dessert, sometimes with a salad
offered before the cheese or dessert. Yogurt may replace the cheese course, while a simple dessert would be fresh
fruit. The meal is often accompanied by bread, wine and mineral water. Main meat courses are often served with
vegetables, along with potatoes, rice or pasta.[13]:82 Restaurants often open at 7:30 pm for dinner, and stop taking
orders between the hours of 10:00 pm and 11:00 pm. Some restaurants close for dinner on Sundays.[14]:342
