Welcome to The French Project

I was originally going to call this blog 'Croissants and Frog's Legs'. What put me off was the fact that they are, in fact, frog's thighs, and also that this isn't just a blog about French food, it's more about French culture.

My name is Caitlin and I'm 16. I have just finished my AS exams and have decided that, instead of spending another summer in which I do practically nothing, I should actually do something worthwhile this year.

I'm studying A-Level French, and I'm hoping to carry it on at university. I've come accross so many people at school who say they 'dislike' the French and France, because 'we're English- we're supposed to'. I've always wanted to prove these people wrong. I love France, I've visited it many times since I was born and I never get bored, and I don't understand how people can judge a whole country so easily and so quickly.

So, this summer's project- 'The French Project'.
I want to learn more about French culture- as much as possible- history, art, novels, films, music, food, EVERYTHING! (I do know quite a bit already, but it's not enough!)
I thought it would be a nice idea to make a blog on which I'll put reviews of films, novels, music, etc., things I've found out and my opinions on them, stuff like that.

Please feel free to comment, share your opinions, ask questions, etc. I'd love to know what you think :)

Bye for now,
Caitlin

P.S. If you're interested in craft stuff (baking, sewing, jewellery making, knitting, etc.), look at my other blog. Thanks!
