Agriculture: Northern France is characterized by large wheat
farms. Dairy products, pork, poultry, and apple production are
concentrated in the western region. Beef production is located
in central France, while the production of fruits, vegetables,
and wine ranges from central to southern France. France is a
large producer of many agricultural products and is currently
expanding its forestry and fishery industries.

CULTURE
Holidays: St. Stephens day is on December 26th,
and observed only in Alsace and Moselle.
November 1st is all saints day.
May 8th is Victory in Europe day.
Religious Influences: There is freedom of religion in
France. France guarantees freedom of religion as a
constitutional right and the government generally
respects this right in practice. A long history of
violent conflict between groups led the state to
break its ties to the Catholic Church early in the
1800s and adopt a strong commitment to
maintaining a totally secular public sector.
