I hope this type of post is OK here. It is sort of off topic, but not completely. My daughter has to do a report on France for her 6th grade geography class. I figure there are several folks here from France, so was hoping I could get some information on French culture from the actual French point of view. Sort of a 'man on the street' interview type of thing. She's interested in the art, music, cuisine, etc. that makes France French. :-) Specifically, names of any current popular musicians as well as traditional French folk music (I love folk music), sites and names of festivals, holidays and dates they are celebrated, famous French authors (and the names of their works). Also, any English language links to stuff related to these themes would be wonderful. It's not completely off topic; as I said, she will have to write a report. Thanks. jon
