A year in France is your dream? There comes a time in our lives when we all dream of taking time for ourselves, discovering new things, doing what we may have put aside. No matter when or how old we are, when we feel we need to do something different, the decision is easier. A sabbatical year is the best option when we want to take advantage of it and live new experiences. This is why we are explaining today why coming to France could prove to be one of the best choices.
One year in France to learn a global language
French is the official language in more than 30 countries and one of the few to be present on all five continents. Moreover, it is the official language of major world organizations such as the United Nations and the European Union. Not to mention that French is the language of romance, art, cinema and much more. It is the third most appreciated foreign language in the professional field and one of the most chosen by students around the world for learning a second language.
A year in France to discover the most visited country in the world
For many consecutive years, France has been the most visited country in the world for many reasons. The French territory offers its visitors an endless list of activities, places and gastronomic riches to discover. The diversity of France’s regions makes it a destination of choice. For example, you can go to Paris at the top of the Eiffel Tower, taste the best champagne in the world, get lost in the lavender fields of Provence, walk along the vineyards in Occitania or swim in the waters of the Mediterranean. There is something for everyone!
You will fall in love with French culture
France is a cultural country in its own right. Many artistic expressions were born in the country and many artists have made these cities their preferred bases for creating the great works we all know today. Lovers of art, cinema, theater, music, history and architecture will be amazed every time they discover something new and can immerse themselves in the discovery of the past of many artists and live the present of those who continue to create art à la française.
You will toast a lot
In France, a glass of wine is always a good excuse to meet up with friends. This European country is one of the largest wine producers on the continent and in the world, and many wine-producing regions can be found on its territory. Moreover, in France, we love the aperitif time, that moment of the day, ideal to forget everything by having a drink with a couple of friends, with your partner or simply by enjoying the good gastronomy.
You will also love French gastronomy
When it comes to gastronomy, France has a lot to offer. Beyond pancakes and croissants, our country has a wonderful cuisine, which every region knows how to value, and it is no coincidence that it has been named an Intangible Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO. It is worth remembering that we produce a wide variety of cheeses and that our pastry shop is one of the most famous in the world. Moreover, in France, we love to eat and the pleasure goes beyond the dish itself, as eating is an opportunity to get together with family or friends to celebrate life’s good times.
You will feel day by day the “Joie de Vivre”
Yes, that’s what we are looking for every day, the joy of living. Enjoying an art exhibition or a good movie, toasting with the best wine or savouring the most exquisite dishes provide us with good moments that fill us with happiness. It is all the more enjoyable if these moments are spent in good company. In France, you will fall in love with the “Joie de Vivre” and maybe it will make you want to stay.
