What is the French Connection?
It is undeniable that the French and the British have had there turmoil – most notably the Neopolinic Wars! However we have been allies as well, for instance:
- During World War 1
- Anglo French projects such as the building of the Suez Canal
- The building of the Concorde in 1969
- In more recent times, the building of the Channel Tunnel!
“France has been the centre of culture since the seventeenth century. It has been recognized for the resilience of its people and aesthetic sense in cinema, cuisine and of course, fashion.” (http://www.buzzle.com/articles/facts-about-the-french-culture.html)
“France has played an important role for centuries as a cultural center, with Paris as a world centre of high culture.” (http://www.frenchlanguageguide.com/french/culture/)
