‘Salut’, I’m Pierre and I’m from Paris, the capital city of France! 
In my country we say ‘Bonjour’ for ‘Good morning’ and ‘Comment allez-vous? for ‘How are you?’. 
Like Spanish people, when we greet each other we shake hands and usually kiss 3 times! 
We’re one of the largest producers of wine in the world and famous for our ‘haute cuisine’. 
One taste of a crepe or a croissant, and you’ll never forget it! The French love doing sport 
and keeping fit. 
Some of the most popular sports in my country are football, cycling, skiing, tennis and petanque – 
a traditional game played with metal balls. Culture and the arts are extremely important in our 
everyday life. 
We celebrate local festivals through music and dance throughout the year. We also appreciate 
a visit to the theatre, the opera or the many famous museums, such as the Louvre, home to the 
world-famous painting ‘Mona Lisa’, or the Orsay museum to admire the paintings of Renoir, 
Monet and Degas, some of the greatest Impressionist artists.
