When did France become a democratic country?
France experienced universal suffrage -for men only- during the French revolution, and from 1848 onwards (only in 1944 for women).
The French would tend to say that France became a democratic country in the late 1800s. A cornerstone is the law protecting freedom of the press, passed in 1881. At the same period other major laws protecting the right to belong to a trade union or political party were also passed.

Why would you like to visit France?
I have visited Paris and i think that it's an absolutely amazing city. The Parisiens are all so involved with their culture and there is always something to do and see.
I went on exchange with my class for 4 weeks last year when i was in year 9 (2007) and it seriously was the time of my life and what made it even more special was the fact that i had my friends there to enjoy it with.
We went to the The Eiffel Tower (of course!!), le louvre, l'arc de triomphe, we walked down les champs-elysees, we went to montmartre and i can tell you now you really haven't experienced everything Paris has to offer until you've been there. We also went to the latin quarter which was sooo awesome....
we went to la musee d'orsay, la maison d'opera, and we took a boat ride down "La Seine" (**the boats are called "les bateaux-mouches".
We also took the metro for the first time ever. One thing we were warned about were the pick pocketers.=[ it was still an enjoyable experience though =]
We basically went everywhere. Seeing as we could all speak fluent French it really helped us to experience and become part of the french culture and way of life. Even though knowing french isn't essential to go to Paris/France it would help you a lot but i think that you can have just an enjoyable time as I did even if you don't know the language.
I really miss France and all my friends there but that just makes me even more excited about going back there next year.
I can't wait. =]
Anyone who is thinking of visiting Paris, all the places i have just talked about are a must go.

What was the first permanent European colony in the America's?
The first Europeans to arrive in North America, at least the first for whom there is solid evidence , were Norsemen, traveling west from Greenland, where Erik the Red founded a settlement around the year 985. In 1001 his son Leif is thought to have explored the northeast coast of what is now Canada and spent at least one winter there. In 1492, Christopher Columbus made his first landfall in the Western Hemisphere at either Samana Cay or San Salvador Island in The Bahamas, but it was not a permanent settlement. Many European fishermen fished the waters off the northern coasts of North America and the US but did not settle there. The Spanish conquistadores explored the Southwest of what would become the US in the 1500s but did not establish permanent settlements. St. Augustine, Florida, was founded in 1565 by the Spanish. The British tried to establish a settlement in Virginia, known as Roanake, Virginia, in 1587 but the colony, known as the lost colony, did not survive. The Jamestown colony in 1607 was the first permanent British colony in North America.

How tall was Napolean Bonaparte?
After the famous emperor died in 1821, his body was autopsied in France, and his height was noted as 5 foot 2 inches. This measurement was in French feet (pieds de roi) and was never correctly converted to standard English measure. In English feet, Napoleon stood 5 foot 6.5 inches tall. So the poor guy was shorted a full 4.5 inches in height.
In his day, 5'6.5" was a perfectly respectable, nothing-to-be-ashamed-of height for a man. In fact, Napoleon was actually slightly taller than the average Frenchman of 1800.

What was the motivation of Louis XIV in building his palace at Versailles?
Versailles is a small village near Paris in France. It is famous for the enormous castle that Louis XIV (France's greatest King ever, also called the Sun King) had build there (also called Versailles) and made Versailles the capital of France. He wanted a different castle outside Paris (the former Royal residence was in the centre of Paris, the Tuilerie castle). 3 generations of Kings and Queens lived there, until the monarchy got destroyed during the the French revolution and the last King and Queen of France ever, Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette, got killed. Especially Marie Antoinette made significant changes to the Versailles castle. She was the one that introduced bathrooms to the castle, which were highly unusual at that time (she liked to bath every day, when most people only bathed like once a month, tops! It was considered unhealthy to bath). She also decorated a lot of rooms beautifully and chose the furniture. Unfortunately, most of it got destroyed or stolen during the revolution. Today the castle is wonderfully restored and you can visit. It has an amazing historical value.
