UN VOYAGE EN FRANCE
par: Mlle Holland2/14/2011
LA FRANCE
The French weren’t always French! Starting as Neanderthals, these original
inhabitants were “colonized” by the Celtic Gauls, the Romans under Julius Caesar, and the Franks including Charlemagne.
The French went on to colonize parts of Asia, Africa, the Americas, and even Europe!
French influence is everywhere!!
