French Culture Library
Welcome to the French Culture Library! This is a place to find content that relates to cultural aspects of life in French-speaking countries: history, food, travel, music, dance, holidays, anything special that these countries have going on.
Languages are more than the vocabulary and grammar that they’re made of — they represent people, heritage, places, and ways of life. The content you’ll find here won’t directly teach you French; in fact, a great deal of it is in English. But, learning French is an experience that can be enriched by learning about the people and places that use the language.
Use this space as a break from study, as a source of inspiration, and as a way to develop a deeper connection with the French language.
