Main Page Student Life Class Trips France Trip 2000 Geography of France France is the largest country in western Europe and is shaped like a star. The geography of France is very diverse. It has everything from the Alps, to beautiful warm beaches and even glaciers. France has a very centralized traffic system. Everything is going into our out of Paris. Paris is the heart of France and is one of the most popular and well known cities in the world. France has an area of 550 000 sq. km. and is a medium seized country on the world scale. Of this area, 56.7% are used for agriculture, 26.7% are forest, 0.3% water, and 16.4% for the rest. Although France is twice as big as Germany, only 57.7 million people live in France. Its neighboring countries to the north are Belgium and Luxembourg, to the east Germany and Switzerland, to the southeast Italy, and to the southwest Spain. France is generally subjected to maritime influences, particularly low fronts from the Atlantic which bring abrupt changes in the weather. The four main climate zones in France are the oceanic (mild winters, cool summers), semi-continental (cold winters, hot and stormy sumer weather), Mediterranean (hot and dry summers, mild winters), and the mountain climate zone (cold summer and winter). The seasons are quite distinct everywhere in France, but there are marked contrasts between coastal areas and the interior of the country, as there are between north and south.

Visiting France Geography France is endowed with a number of exceptional geographic features which, throughout its history, have greatly contributed to its economic development and its place in the international arena. They include the remarkable balance and rich diversity of its natural environment, and a privileged location on the map which predestines it to be a world crossroads. A Strategic Location An Essential Link in Europe France is part of Europe and, more particularly, of the European Union. Founded in 1957 by the Treaty of Rome, the EU originally included six countries (France, the former Federal Republic of Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg). It now consists of fifteen countries. It is not an overstatement to say that France is a cornerstone of Europe by reason of: Its size: as stated earlier, measured on a world scale, France is not among the largest countries but, within the framework of Europe, the position is different; France is, in fact, the largest country in the EU and represents 16% of its total area. It is larger than Germany or Italy and twice as large as the United Kingdom.

THE LOIRE VALLEY: CHINON L'Histoire Restaurants L'Histoire Chinon is a picturesque little town of 10,000, on the banks of the river Vienne, 45 kilometers south of Tours in the heart of Touraine, which is called the "Garden of France" and the "Cradle of the French Language". It is also full of history, once the residence of the King of England, Henry II Plantagenet, when that part of France was under English rule. And it became the residence of Charles VII, the heir of the throne of France in the early 1400's. It was in the Château de Chinon that Joan of Arc first recognized the disguised dauphin (later Charles VII) in 1429 and persuaded him to give her an army in order to drive the English out of France. Chinon is also the birthplace of François Rabelais, the Renaissance man, monk, doctor, philosopher, and writer, creator of Gargantua. First a Gallic site, then Roman, the castle continued to be built during the X, XIII, XIV and XV centuries. The Platagenet kings of England had elected this castle as their favorite residence. Henry the II, Richard the Lionhearted and John Lackland all lived here from 1154 to 1204. This is where Charles VII received Joan of Arc in 1429. From the top of the castle is a magnificent view over the old city and the Vienne Valley. There is also a small Joan of Arc Museum. Enfant de Chinon - Rabelais "Créateur de la langue francaise", avait le savoir encyclopédique des humanistes et la sagesse d'un maître sachant équilibrer la science et le bon sens. Evangéliste au siècle de la reforme religieuse, il prêche la bonne humeur et éclate de sa joie de vivre, car ce génie universel est avant tout Chinonais. Il doit beaucoup a ce bon pays aux effluves d'allégresse, de malice et de joyeuse sainte qui envelopperent son enfance. (1494)
