About FranceToday, many rural villages see the local church building as a symbol of local identity. Catholicism continues to play a notable role in French society. The church bell rings to mark deaths and weddings. Many people have their infants baptized and most private education in France is Roman Catholic. Many Catholics feel as though the church helps uphold traditional family values, authority and a sense of moral order in society. However, many prefer to practice their religious faith outside of religious institutions. Only a minority of those who identify as Catholic regularly attend and participate in communal religious worship.

Food & DiningFor the most part, there is no “typical” French meal. Although people often use the broad label “French cuisine” to describe French food, most French dishes are region-based and thus vary depending on where you are located.
