  French cuisine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
French cuisine is considered to be one of the world's most refined and elegant styles of cooking, and is renowned for both its classical ("haute cuisine") and provincial styles.
French cuisine originated from Italian cuisine (or rather the Italian City States common cooking methods) which was brought to the French court upon the marriage of Catherine de Medici to King Henri II of France.
French wine and French cheese are an integral part of French cuisine, both as ingredients and accompaniments.

 French Colonial Empire - Introduction
From its beginnings in the early 1600s through the great expansion of the late 19th century, the French overseas empire was formed more by the agencies and stimulation of the state, church, and armed forces than by the initiation of the business community.
Merchants, financiers, and manufacturers did engage in and profit from French imperial ventures, but generally they had to be prodded into participation by monarchical or republican officials.
French colonial imperialism survived World War I, but World War II led to its reorganization as the French Union, and finally to its dissolution — primarily as the result of the wars in Indochina and Algeria.
