This is a bit demanding, but can people answer the following questions? I'm curious about France. (I'm a beginner in a foreign language class, and I'm captivated by France already.)
1) What's the most well known chateaux in France called?
2) What are some well-known/gourmet/etc. restaurants in France called?
3) What is something different in their lifestyles than that of people living in America?
4) Popular things in France? Fads?
5) A little background history?
6) If you've been there and went sight-seeing, what are some remarkable/beautiful places that you would note? (describe)
7) Anything else you can tell me you think I'd enjoy knowing.
