conflict in France. Examination of both periods reveals the driving force in each period of threat and conflict and the instinct of peoples, as Thiesse observes, to become more radical in beliefs and actions; creating albeit quite different outcomes in the two periods in terms of engendering a common sense of French nationhood and identity. In looking at these two periods we shall focus of the three key determinants of national…

Anyone who owns a camera phone can take Instagram-worthy pictures of all the famous monuments. My favorite memories of France are the spontaneous, “we don’t know where we’re going, but we’re gonna go” ones. Like when, after stuffing ourselves with cheese and bread that somehow qualified as dinner, my friends and I unearthed a secret staircase to an elevated walkway leading…

Hosting the Olympic games for any country is an extremely daunting task, but many have chosen to take it on in hopes of stimulating their economy and creating infrastructure to benefit their people.

These are all qualities of a good leader and only further…

Mon Premier Jour en France There I was, lost at the Notre Dame. Not having a clue where everyone else was. You’re probably wondering how I got in this situation. Let me start from the beginning. Ever since I was in sixth grade, I had been told that my French class would one day go to France on a trip. After years of waiting, the day had finally arrived. I was leaving for France!

The artist was clearly familiar with the art and architecture of the Italian Renaissance, but also had clearly witnessed the landscapes and nature of Latour, France.

Regardless, the painting aligns itself well with other art of the time and…
