This is like asking why do Mexican eat tacos. The history plays big role where the french has contributed the revoluiton on wine. They have been to ups and down of the wine culture. The staple drink has been evolved there as some of the drinks have been created. The soil itself in France has very suitable nature of abosrbing water capacity. The wine need good limey stone character and soil which can absorve water at max. The bottle of wine need 300 bottle of water iteslf. The french has been very keen with the idea where they have separate appellation and striction of growing grape varities in certain region. That may be reason why they focus on growing particular grape varities for example........bougrone stand more for pinot noir, where as chablis ofr chardonnay.

The certainly history and culture plays a good role. It is one of the major reason why french make wine...for french day without a wine is like day without a sunshine.

Time scale of the French laws:

- 1776, Feb. 4: the King Louis the 16th forbids to own slaves on the French territory.

- 1790, March 8 and Oct. 12: the National Assembly states twice that salvery is legal. In 1794 following the Haiti revolts, the National Assembly forbids slavery.

- 1802, May 20: salvery is again authorised by Napoleon.

- 1815, Napoleon abolishes slave trade; decision upheld by the restored monarchs in Nov. 1815.

- in 1848, under the second republic, France definitevely abolishes slavery on any part of its colonies.

He was sometimes inept, sometimes indecisive and perhaps he should not have attempte to escape. He was certainly not to blame for the massive French debt and the charge of Treason was hardly lawful.

The French Alps are part of the large European chain of mountains known as the Alps. They are primarily attractive for outdoor activities, such as Alpine Skiing and mountaineering. Less famous but still popular sports, in the region, include mountain bike (cross-country, Downhill), white water rafting and paragliding. The region is also noted for its stunning beauty, including many alpine lakes, the largest being Lake Geneva (Lac Leman), Lac d'Annecy and Lac de Bourget; these lakes are year-round attractions for their beauty and access to numerous water sports.

84% of French adults (of ages 25 to 34) have a secondary education diploma or higher. France ranks 9th within OECD countries, ahead of the OECD average (81%), and marks a steady increase from the previous generations in France.

43% of the 25-34 population has an university-level diploma (37% for OECD average in tertiary education). At that level, France ranks below Canada, Russia, Korea and Japan, but is now ahead of UK and Germany, and is overtaking the United States.

The weather will much depend upon where you are in France. Towards the Alps and the mountains in the east of France there is a very good chance of snow. Away from the mountains, but still in the east, it is likely to be cold and around freezing.

Towards Paris and the north west of the country it is usually cold and wet, there might be a few flakes of snow to help boost the festive spirit.

Heading south and you are likely to have a mild Christmas in France, although there is a chance of snow in the mountains of the Puy de Dome, further south on the Mediterranean coast you may enjoy some sunshine.

The national weather service, Météo-France, offers more detailed information and forecasts.
