The military of France is divided into four departments, the Army, the Navy, the Air Force and the Military Police. France has at least 359,000 military personnel. France spends almost 2.5 percent of it's GDP on defence. Most of French military instruments are made in France, notably the Charles De Gaulle aircraft carrier, the Exocet missile and the Rafale fighter.

Gothic Art as well as Baroque architecture is said to have been born in France. The earlier name for Gothic art was French Art. France is therefore home to many world famous and prestigious Gothic art in basilicas and cathedrals.

The language of French had not gained uniformity until after the Middles Ages. It was divided into several dialects. Almost every writer had their own grammar. French poetry and literature is said to have reached it's peak in the eighteenth and twentieth century. 'Cinderalla', 'Sleeping Beauty' and 'Bluebeard' came to birth in France during this time. The stories were written by the acclaimed writer Charles Pennaut. Other important contributions by France to the world of literature and heritage are 'The Three Musketeers', 'The Count of Monte Cristo','The Hunchback of Notre dame' and 'Twenty Thousand Leagues Under The Sea'. 'The Phantom of the Opera', written by the French Gaston Leroux during the twentieth century may be one of the most famous pieces of French literature in modern times.Today, the Prix Goncourt is the most important award in French literature.

Jocelyn There are some errors in this text:
1. Tousole is not a city in France. Perhaps you were thinking of Toulouse?
2. Cars are driven on the right in France, but it is not one of "few" countries to do so. There are 166 countries that drive on the right.
Please double check your facts before publishing on the web.

S. Mas France is one of the *few* countries that has right-hand drive? I'd have said an overwhelming majority of European countries have right-hand drive... except the UK and Ireland.
But that's just a French point of view.
Incidentally, anyone looking for "Tousole" on the map will probably be more likely to find "Toulouse".
Finally, I'm sure Luxemburg's citizens will prefer a "u" in their country's spelling.
