a long thin loaf of French bread that is commonly made from basic lean dough. It
is distinguishable by its length and crisp crust. A baguette has a diameter of
about 5 or 6 centimetres and a usual length of about 65 centimetres, although a
baguette can be up to a metre long.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">There are a
lot of types of baguettes, for example:
corn, white, cheese, and the traditional "parisienne".
Everything depends on region where the baguettes are made. </span>Typical
baguette is made from flour, water, sourdough and salt. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Baguettes are generally
made as partially free-form loaves, with the loaf formed with a series of
folding and rolling motions, raised in cloth-lined baskets or in rows on a
flour-impregnated towel, called a couche, and baked either directly on the
hearth of a deck oven or in special perforated pans designed to hold the shape
of the baguette while allowing heat through the perforations. American-style
"French bread" is generally much fatter and is not baked in deck
ovens, but in convection ovens.</div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Nowadays
French people eat 58 kilograms of baguettes per year and it's 5 times less than
they used to eat 100 years ago. In France, baguettes are eaten often with jam
or pâté and should be serve on every meal. Polish baguettes are different in taste.
They're not so much delicate inside as they are in France.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US">On Epiphany
(Three Kings' Day) in France people share a type of king cake. The cake is
called a galette des Rois, and is a round, flat, and golden cake made with
flake pastry and often filled with frangipane, fruit, or chocolate. It contains
a charm, usually a porcelain or plastic figurine, called a fève (bean in
French).<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US">The cake is
cut by the youngest (and therefore most innocent) person at the table to assure
that the founder of the figurine is random. The person who gets the piece of
cake with the surprise becomes "king" or "queen" and wears
a paper crown provided with the cake. This person has a choice between offering
a beverage to everyone around the table (usually a sparkling wine or
champagne), or volunteering to host the next king cake at their home. </span>This
is really delicious and worth tasting!</div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">In France, Santa Claus is called <i>Père Noël</i>. In eastern France he is accompanied by Le Pere
Fouettard, a man dressed in black. He might be the same person as Zwarte Piet
in The Netherlands.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">The main Christmas meal, called <i>"Réveillon"</i>, is eaten on Christmas Eve after people have
returned from the midnight Church Service. Dishes might include roast turkey
with chestnuts or roast goose, oysters, foie gras, lobster, venison and
cheeses. For dessert, a chocolate sponge cake log called a <i>"bûche de Noël"</i> is normally eaten. It reminds a real log
burned in people's homes from Christmas Eve until New Years Day to forget about
the past.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Yule Logs made out of Cherry Wood are often burned in
French homes. The log is carried into the home on Christmas Eve and is
sprinkled with red wine to make the log smell nice when it is burning. There is
a custom that the log and candles are left burning all night with some food and
drinks left out in case Mary and the baby Jesus come past during the night.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Another celebration, in some parts of France, is that
13 different desserts are eaten! All the desserts are made from different types
of fruit, nuts and pastries.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

together at Christmas time to holiday and worship. On the eve of Christmas
beautifully lit churches and cathedrals, ring out Christmas carols with the
church bells.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

(ou presque)I have IT class every week and we had to prepare a small description about three different programs on French. And because of that homework I found something really interesting for all French students: a program "Tout est vrai... (ou presque)".<br />
<br />
Everyday at 20:45 pm. on chanel Arte we can watch this. It's a program which shows ironically the life of personalities. I don't know why, but it's designed for people from 7-77 years old.<br />
<br />
The principle: it presents original, irony and absurdity of personalities life in shorter time that it takes to boil an egg.<br />
<br />
Forme: a white background, toys, everyday objects, a voicover and a good dose of imagination - these are only ingredients used by Nicolas Rendu, aka Udner for making those funny portraits. With a child's soul, the director mastered the art of stop motion, giving life, frame by frame, to everything that happens in his hands (or so). These tablets bring some freshness by focusing primarily on the story of the great of this world.<br />
<br />
The program is recorded in two languages: French and German. I think it's a great opportunity to practise your comprehension and you have a lot of fun with it! I really recommend it!<br />
<br />
Here are some of videos:<br />

It's second attack in this year.<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , "times" , serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 23px;"> </span></span><br />President François Hollande on Saturday blamed the Islamic State for the terrorist attacks
in Paris on Friday, as the death toll rose to 127 victims, with 300
others hospitalized, 80 of them in critical condition. He declared three
days of national mourning, and said that military troops would patrol
the capital. France remained under a nationwide state of emergency. ISIS, the islamic group, confess to be an initiatior of those attacks. </span>The identities of the eight attackers, who are all dead, are unknown.<br />
The attacks, and the possibility that the Islamic State was to blame, promised to further traumatize France and other European countries already fearful of violent jihadists radicalized by the conflicts in Syria and elsewhere.<br />
Recently the president Hollande actively stepped up French participation in the military air campaign in Syria at the end of September. Just last week, France attacked oil operations under the Islamic State’s control in Syria. Massacre in Paris is said to be an answer for those actions of France against The <span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIS).</span></span></span><br />

Charles de Gaulle Airport remained open, but with significant delays because of tighter passport and baggage checks</span>.</span></span></span></span></span><br />

Maybe not everybody finds that subject interesting, but I think it must be mentioned. I will try to not boring you as much as I can. <br />
<br />
<br />
The <b>politics of France</b> take place with the framework of a semi-presidential system determined by the French Constitution of the fifth Republic. The nation declares itself to be an "indivisible, secular, democratic, and social Republic".<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-1"><span></span><span></span></sup> The constitution provides for a separation of powers and proclaims France's "attachment to the Rights of Man and the principles of national sovereignty as defined by the Declaration of 1789."<br />
<br />
<br />
The political system of France consists of an executive branch, a legislative branch and a judicial branch. Executive power is exercised by the President of the Republic and the Government. The Government consists of the Prime Minister and ministers. The Prime Minister is appointed by the President, and is responsible to Parliament. The government, including the Prime Minister, can be revoked by the National Assembly,
the lower house of Parliament, through a "censure motion"; this ensures
that the Prime Minister is always supported by a majority of the lower
house. Parliament comprises the National Assembly and the Senate. The independent judiciary is based upon civil law system which evolved from the Napoleonic codes.<br />
<br />
France has a semi-presidental system of government. This means that the presidential candidate is required
to obtain a nationwide majority of non-blank votes at either the first
or second round of balloting, which implies that the President is somehow supported by at least half of the voting population. He appoints the Prime Minister, the ministers, ministers-delegate and secretaries. When the President's
political party or supporters control parliament, the President is the dominant player in executive action.<br />
<br />
Ugh, really complicated. But in short, you can see how it works.<br />

<span style="font-size: small;">French is a strange nation ( of course, in good meaning ;)). They arrange some trivial small talks about weather, on the other hand they have deep conversations about politics. But when you say, that they don't know English, it causes something like storm! It's their sore point. But the truth is, that only one in six man can speak English longer than 10 minutes. It's not an amazing result. Of course, the have a lot of excuses: that's the fault of their school system, private lessons are very expensive etc. With all responsibility I can say the only reason is that they are very lazy. They don't want to get tired. They got used to speak French with all business partners or with tourists. <span class="" id="result_box" lang="en"><span class="hps">Even</span> in <span class="hps">the restaurant</span> <span class="hps">is hard to</span> <span class="hps">find a</span> <span class="hps">waiter who</span> <span class="hps">would be</span> <span class="hps">able to</span> <span class="hps">provide us with</span> <span class="hps">English menus</span><span>,</span> <span class="hps">not to mention the</span> <span class="hps">other languages. When I was in France in 2012, I wanted to find one place from "Amelie" movie. So me and my friends, we went to "Starbucks" and tried to talk with waiters in English, because our French wasn't good enough. We were very suprised when they didn't even tried to understand us. When they heard our French, they were disgusted, so we were forced to look for ourselves.Because of my experience I can say, that french people adore their own language only. But what can I say, it's a beautiful language!</span></span></span><br />

At the beginning I want to say, that it isn't a blog about well-known information. Now I would like to talk about France generally. Everybody knows where the France is, that is bordered by Andorra, Belgium, Spain, Luxembourg, Germany, Switzerland, Monaco and Italy and Paris is the capital of France . That is a pretty big country, right :D?<span class="" id="result_box" lang="en"> It's worth noting, that not all of France is in Europe. There is something like DOM and COM. DOM is <i>Départements d'outre-mer</i>, which means "Departments overseas": Guadeloupe, Martynique, </span><span class="" id="result_box" lang="en"><span class="short_text" id="result_box" lang="en"><span class="hps">French Guiana, Reunion and Mayotte</span></span>. Those are like the administrative regions in France, they have the same rights.</span> COM (<i>Collectivités d'outre-mer)</i> is something similar, but they don't have so many rights like DOM. It concers: Saint-Pierre-et-Miguelon, Saint-Barthélemy,Saint-Martin, Wallis-et-Futuna and <span class="short_text" id="result_box" lang="en"><span class="hps">French Polynesia.</span></span> I don't want to talk about such a things like, for example:
administration or the government, because it's boring for most of
people. <span class="" id="result_box" lang="en"><span class="hps">France</span> <span class="hps">due to its</span> <span class="hps">population</span>, <span class="hps">economic potential</span>, <span class="hps">position in Europe</span>, <span class="hps">a strong army</span> <span class="hps">is considered as one</span> <span class="hps">of the most powerful</span> <span class="hps">countries in the world</span>. With this really short description we start a trip around the France.<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><i> </i></span></span></span><span class="" id="result_box" lang="en"></span><i><b>C'est la fin qui couronne l'œuvre</b></i>! - The end crowns the work!<br />
