A/N- Before I start, I just want to say that I mean no offence to anyone from France. These are just some things that I found out and wanted to share them.
1. Turning a baguette upside-down is considered unlucky.
2. The kipferl – ancestor of the croissant was born in the coffee shops of Vienna in the 13th century and is the original crescent-shaped morning sweet.

4. The camera phone was invented in France in 1997.
5. Each new day in France sees two new cooking books.
6. Kilts originated in France, not Scotland.
7. In France, it is illegal to throw out any unsold but edible food.
