France's long and colorful history has given its people many reasons to celebrate -- the country's calendar contains a large number of historical and religious festivals. Filmed entirely in France, this entertaining program explores five of the most significant French holidays: Paques (Easter), Les Fetes des Rois (Three Kings Day), Poisson d'Avril (April Fool's Day), La Fete Nationale (The National Celebration, also known in English as Bastille Day), and Noel (Christmas). The video addresses the importance of cultural awareness in learning a language.
