French in the 2006 World Cup
Soccer is to the French like, well…cheese, wine, and Le Tour. This summer, it will be even more important with the 2006 World Cup, held in neighboring Germany. There is a lot of drama, agony, and superstition that goes into producing a winning team, but it wouldn’t be a first for the French. They have twelve appearances under their belts, including a 1998 championship.
Fans of the French national team can check out their fan page on World Cup Blog, and read up on all of their competitors as well.
What was Paris like in the summer of 1998 when France won the world cup? Once again, on this momentous occasion - we were in Normandy, not Paris, so we missed out on the biggest street party in Paris - but suffice it to say that that the aura throughout the nation was sheer euphoria.

Hello. I am the editor of the France travel site for About.com. I am planning to launch a blog carnival on France, travel and Francophiles. This blog is on my current blogroll, so I just thought I would drop you a line. I’d like to get some submissions for the first carnival, and I’m also looking for fellow carnival hosts. Anyway, you can find out more on my carnival page here:
