France Way of Life

France's capital and largest city is Paris, one of the world's great cities.The French are famous for their enjoyment of life. Good food and good wine are an important part of everyday living for most French people. The delicious breads, appetizers, sauces, soups, and desserts of France are copied by cooks in most parts of the world. The wines of France are considered the world's best.Among the people of France, there are notable regional differences in language and tradition. As a result, many people have a strong sense of regional identity. In the Basque region, Brittany, and Corsica, some people have sought independence from France. But most people in the various regions feel comfortable having both a regional identity and a national "French" identity. Only about a fifth of the French people live in rural areas. In the larger cities, most people live in apartments.Most French holidays and festivals are closely connected with the Roman Catholic Church. Many cities celebrate Shrove Tuesday, the last day before Lent, with a festival called Carnaval. The Carnaval celebration in Nice includes a colorful parade, and it attracts many tourists. Most villages honor their local patron saints with a festival in July.

There have been at least 2,409,000 confirmed cases of coronavirus in France, according to the French government. As of Thursday morning, 59,361 people had died.
National health authorities in France do not provide cumulative regional data for test-confirmed cases of the virus; only daily snapshots are reported. They do, however, report regional data for the total number of people hospitalized for Covid-19 and how many of those people have recovered or died.
