I’ve been in France for almost two months now, so I’m starting to get used to “le rhythme Français,” but there are some definite differences that have taken getting used to. So here are, in no particular order 7 of the major places differences between France and the U.S.
1.Quebecois celebrate the arrival of their ancestors in Canada at the Nouvelle France festival in the summer.
2.Quebec City's gabled roofs, winding streets and ramparts conjure an Old World feel. Vieux-Quebec (Old Town) is the only fortified city in North America north of Mexico.
3.Cafes, shops and restaurants recall the city's European roots.
4.The original town of La Nouvelle-Orléans developed around what is now known as Jackson Square.
5.Visitors to the city now are likely to indulge in beignets at Cafe du Monde.
6.The rocky islands of Saint-Pierre and Miquelon, some 15 miles off the coast of Newfoundland, are part of France.
7.Faquetigue Courir de Mardi Gras is a traditional Mardi Gras celebration held near Savoy, Louisiana, that involves chasing chickens.
