French Facts - Did you know?
⚜ Louis XIX was the king of France for just 20 minutes, the shortest ever reign – he
ascended to the French throne in July 1830 after his father Charles X abdicated,
and abdicated himself 20 minutes later in favour of his nephew, the Duke of
Bordeaux. He shares this record with Crown Prince Luís Filipe, who technically
became king of Portugal after his father was assassinated but died from a wound
20 minutes later.
⚜ The French Army was the first to use camouflage in 1915 (World War I) – the
word camouflage came from the French verb ‘to make up for the stage’. Guns and
vehicles were painted by artists called camofleurs.
⚜ In France you can marry a dead person – under French law, in exceptional cases
you can marry posthumously, as long as you can also prove that the deceased had
the intention of marrying while alive and you receive permission from the French
president. The most recent approved case was in 2017, when the partner of a gay
policeman gunned down on Paris's Champs-Elysees by a jihadist was granted
permission to marry his partner posthumously.
⚜ France was the first country in the world to ban supermarkets from throwing away
or destroying unsold food – since February 2016, shops must donate wastage to
food banks or charities
⚜ Europe’s highest mountain is in the French Alps – Mont Blanc, at 4,810m, takes
an arduous 10 to 12 hours to climb to the summit. Alternatively, you can take a
leisurely 20-minute trip up on Europe’s highest cable car on the nearby Aiguille du
Midi to get a brilliant view of Mont Blanc.
⚜ Paris Gare du Nord is Europe's busiest railway station – and by far, with some 190
million passengers passing through each year. Inaugurated in 1846, it it also one
of the world's oldest stations.
⚜ France produces nearly a billion tons of cheese a year in around 1,200 different
varieties – in France it's an ancient art: goats cheese dates back to at least 500AD,
the blue-veined Roquefort was mentioned in records of an ancient monastery in
Conques as early as 1070, and hard farm cheeses like Emmental started to appear
in the 13th century. A French proverb claims 'un fromage par jour de l’année' –
there is a different cheese for every day of the year.
⚜ The French eat around 30,000 tonnes of snails a year – but only about 1,000
tonnes of the classic French delicacy (served with garlic, parsley and butter) come
from France; only some 100 registered snail farms existed in France in 2015. If
you've eaten snails in France, chances are they were plucked from the fields and
roadsides of Eastern Europe.
⚜ It is against the law to carry live snails on a high-speed train in France without
their own tickets – in fact, any domesticated animal under 5kg must be a paying
passenger in France. In 2008, a Frenchman was fined when he was caught
carrying snails on a TGV, although the fine was later waived.
