<h2>
THREE ASPECTS OF FRENCH CULTURE DIFFERENT FROM THE US</h2>
-The French observe 11 official public holidays. 5 of them are civil holidays (New Year's Day, May Day, Victory in Europe Day, Bastille Day and WWI Armistice Day) and 6 have a religious origin based on the Catholic faith (Easter Monday, Ascension Day, Whit Monday, Assumption Day, All Saints' Day, and Christmas).
-Soupe à l'oignon. This is a traditional French soup made of onions and beef stock
-The traditional dress in France depends on the region, but consists of items like lace-trimmed blouses, aprons with colorful flowers and white, flared bonnets. The one thing that France's regional costumes have in common is that they are all based on late 18th century rural clothing.
