France
France is one of the largest countries in western Europe, well-known for its tourist industry (as people want to see its historic and picturesque parts), its cuisine (you know – cheese, wine, bread, etc.) and its mixed history, with liberatory episodes like the French Revolution or the May ‘68 uprising coexisting with France’s long history as a ruthless colonial power.
