Extractions: France The concept of culture is of paramount importance in France - a country whose people have all but cornered the world market on urbane savoir faire - and the country's devotion to Frenchness is all-consuming. The first distinctively Gallic architecture was Gothic, which originated in the mid-12th century in northern France and is preserved in the seminal Chartres cathedral and its successors at Reims and Amiens. In the realms of architecture and the visual arts, the Renaissance - which first showed its face at the end of the 15th century - was largely an imported phenomenon with few homegrown modifications. Local writers showed more verve, with Rabelais and Montaigne producing literary landmarks. In the 18th century, Jean-Baptiste Chardin brought the humbler domesticity of the Dutch masters to French art. Later, Napoleon named Jacques Louis David, a leader of the 1789 Revolution, official state painter. David produced vast pictures, including one of Revolutionary-dictator Marat lying dead in his bath. The literature of this period is dominated by philosophers, among them Voltaire and Rousseau, while the music scene was dominated by Impressionists Claude Debussy and Maurice Ravel, and Berlioz, who founded modern orchestration and produced operas and symphonies that sparked a musical renaissance. Victor Hugo is the key figure of 19th-century French Romanticism. By the mid-19th century, Romanticism was evolving into new movements, both in fiction and poetry, and three stalwarts of French literature emerged: Gustave Flaubert, Charles Baudelaire and the controversial, innovative and powerful work of Émile Zola. The poet Arthur Rimbaud, as well as crowding rugged and exotic adventuring into his 37 years, produced two enduring pieces of work:

Extractions: Mission Quaternaire et Préhistorique en Indonésie Découvert à la fin du dix-neuvième siècle, le Pithécanthrope (Homo erectus) de Java a sans doute été le premier homme à peupler un archipel, il y a plus d'un million d'années. Il est connu par les restes de plus de soixante individus. Son mode de vie est longtemps resté un mystère, en partie éclairci aujourd'hui par la fouille du site de Ngebung, dans le dôme de Sangiran, où a été dégagé un sol d'occupation humaine datant de près de 800 000 ans.

Extractions: Country Info France Introduction France General Data France Maps France Culture ... France Time and Date France Culture Back to Top The culture of France has profoundly influenced that of the entire Western world, particularly in the areas of art and letters, and Paris has long been regarded as the fountainhead of French culture. France first attained cultural preeminence in Europe during the Middle Ages; later, the wealth of the French crown in the 16th, 17th, and 18th centuries provided a subsidization of art on a scale comparable to that of the papacy in Rome, attracting to Paris many of Europes most talented artists and artisans. Wealth also created a leisure class, which had both the time and the means for developing elegance in dress, manners, furnishings, and architecture. French styles still pervade much of Western culture. In the 20th century French cinema assumed a leading world position, particularly in the 1960s with the nouvelle vague (new wave) group of film directors, such as Jean-Luc Godard, Alain Resnais, and François Truffaut.

http://www.france.com/culture/today.html

Extractions: Social Customs Modern Politics Modern Life France in Figures Not large by North American standards (about the size of the state of Texas), France is nonetheless extremely diverse: it concentrates a wealth of scenery, regional identities each with their own particular joie de vivre defined by cultural and historic differences. Through the years, France's stamp on western civilization has left an indelible mark in many domains and French savoir-faire remains a reference in the arts, politics, gastronomy, fashion and science. Since World War II, French society has undergone great transformations. Whereas one person in 3 used to work in farming, today this ratio stands at 1 in 16. Concurently, religious practice (mostly Catholic) declined almost at the same rate. This new age ushered in such changes in social habits as the wider acceptance of the practice of unmarried couples living together and the legalization of abortion. After the students took to the streets in infamous May 1968, conditions for women have tremendously improved and many social structures became less constructing for everyone.

Les Tissus, the creation of the French National Centre for Circus Skills (CNAC). A completely live show, circus is re-inventing itself in new forms; the traditional techniques serve as a diversion from the everyday, a diversion which is the very essence of the notion of entertainment. It is freeing itself from the constraints of the ring, sometimes adopting a theatrical approach to staging (viewed from the front) or even returning to the street, its first performance space in the days of acrobats, tightrope walkers and open air stages. A family affair th century Epinal prints of it, with its lions' cages, its red posters plastered on walls all over the town, the smell of sawdust and the sound of the brass band leading the succession of acrobats, jugglers, conjurers, lion tamers, clowns and the rest. In France, 200 circus schools train new generations in the difficult process of learning the traditional disciplines.
