France is often described as the cultural centre of the world. Unparalleled historical events, enormous hallways of the Louvre (also the less famous ones) filled with timeless creations, treasure troves of literature and poetry and, a lifestyle that is unique, intellectual and proud, taken together, constitute the French culture. Living in close conformity with some of the biggest cultural harbingers of Europe like Italy and Austria, France has created a niche for itself in its own way. From the time of the biggest Monarchs to that of the Republicans, French culture has undergone numerous transformations. The present French society is a blend of its historical heritage and global norms of modernity. |
French Literature and Art
Since the middle ages, many forms of literature like poetry, novels, verses and playwrights have been created. The form and styles kept changing and are now grouped into six categories namely the middle Ages, Renaissance, Classical Age, Rationalist Age, 19th century and 20th century respectively. Intense political upheavals have left their mark on French literature.
Art is often reflection of a Country’s traditions, its people, history and many other aspects. In France art developed along certain styles starting with the Romanesque, to Gothic, Renaissance Art, Baroque and then moved on to the 18th, 19th and 20th century patterns.
Some of the eminent artists and littérateurs of France include Michel Drucker, Jacques Martin, Christophe Dechavanne, Jean-Pierre Foucauld, Lagaf’, Nagui, Patrick Sebastien and many more.
French society
The unique and rich heritage of French culture is reflected in the society lifestyle and general behavior of people of France. French society to an outsider may appear traditional and liberal at the same time. French people act conservative when it comes to adopting a global trend that has given a common color to cultures everywhere. Although modern ways of life are seen, French people hold on to their traditional way of living. In spite of that French society is perhaps one of the most expressive and critical. Liberty of opinion is utilized best in France.
