When Was France Discovered

Answer 3

The Neanderthal man discovered France, when there was a land dispute between the higher and lower man. The hundreds of drawings int the caves, according to the scientists believe that the cavemen were the first to enter France. Of course, this was a huge find for the scientist because they did not believe that they could travel to France from Germany. .

Answer 4

In 228 B.C. a Roman provincial governor in the north of Italy, Frances Ignoramus, while expanding the back patio of his estate to install a private bath, noted a odorous whiff of strong cheese. Curious, he sent a legion on an expedition over the Alps and discovered that the earth did not end there but instead fertile lands below were perfect for the introduction of Roman vineyards. Frances Ignoramus encountered the local tribes, on strike of course, as French tribes often were, and armed with baguettes, he was quickly driven back over the Alps, but not before leaving his name to the new territory, Ignoramus. Later it was changed to France. Further Roman expeditions into France were attempted, most notably by the Roman general Flavius Flav, though the Romans had difficulty subduing the population. Additionally the local appetite for frog's legs and escargots discouraged further Roman incursion, as they found the local food inconsistant with their palate and slightly upsetting to their stomachs...

That's one story, anyway.

There's also the more commonly accepted "scholarly" therory that France had been populated for tens of thousands of years by Homo sapiens and even before then by other hominids such as the neanderthals, since perhaps 200,000 B.C. The hundreds of cave paintings in the south of France that have been found are traced as far back as 32,000 B.C. and point to a successful society with a marked division of labor. This culture would flourish in France and during the Iron Age, Celtic tribes would develop a sophisticated culture in the region. France became "Gaul" to her Roman neighbors, although the southern coast would be colonized by the Phoceans, Greeks from a city-state near Athens who would found the present day cities of Marseilles (Masallia) in 600 B.C. and Nice (Nicaea) in 350 B.C. So there was no definitive date of discovery in France, just successive dates of arrival of many, many settling peoples.

Answer 5

Well, once upon a time it was connected to England by a land bridge (or should that be the other way round?). The some Gauls came and a little later Caesar conquered them . But it's been there for a long, long time.

Answer 6

france was founded by the franks in the frist years of A.D. it was named by the francesis, the name of the hachet thay used to conquer oll that land.

Answer 7

What do you mean?
It's always been there, no one discovered it.
It's not like Columbus "discovering" the Americas, or Capt James Cook "discovering" Australia.
