Why I chose France. I have always like France and wanted to visit to see the Eiffel Tower. I know that this is also where the Louvre is located and I would like to see the Mona Lisa in person one day. I also took four years of French in school and I would like the opportunity to be able to speak it with native French speakers. I hope to learn more about the non touristic places of France. I also want to learn about French culture, mainly any special festivals or culturally specific foods they might have. I would also like to learn about the economy and their political system.
