Bonjour, Welcome, Hallo und willkommen, Hola y Bienvenido,
Did you know?How many inhabitants in France ? More than 67.2 million people living in France on 2018.
World Record regarding Nobel Prizes : 11 Literature Nobel laureates, the main word used in France is "to be" meaning "être" and I'm not surprised at all.
What about about the French custom of kissing the cheek? Depending on French regions, kissing the cheek may vary from 1 to 4 kisses, we mostly kiss the cheek a single time in Brittany :)

The French Bikini?
Bikini Swimsuit is French and designed in 1946 by French engineer Louis Réard.
He
named the swimsuit after Bikini Atoll… Indeed Bikini (coconut place) is an atoll in the
Marshall Islands, one of the test sites for nuclear devices in the 40/50s…
The swimsuit became extremely popular in the late 50s thanks to a particular
movie with Brigitte Bardot in : "And God Created Woman". Awesome Movie!

La Marinière : Summer attire Trend or Seamen clothing?
Sailor shirt, the famous white and blue-striped shirt! Sailor shirt was produced in 1858 for seamen.
Legend tells that the 21 blue stripes on body part had referred to Napoleon's
Victories. And the 14 blue stripes on sleeves had referred to : "Blue like the ocean and
white like foam". well, this last "legend":) is more poetic! actually, this specific pattern
was designed to Help for rescuing seamen whenever they fell overboard.
Miss Coco Chanel was the first woman to wear “la Marinière” so many others
talented actresses will contribute too, like Audrey Tautou, Brigitte Bardot, etc.
Then, Jean Paul Gaultier ; the great french Fashion designer enhanced this terrific
Marinière all over the world!
