Choose one of the areas listed below and make some final observations. You may consider questions such as: What stood out to you or challenged your preconceptions about the French? Why did you find this aspect of French civilization interesting? Did it surprise you or settle some questions you may have had? How does it (or does it) explain the French? What is still unsettled for you about this topic?
