Could you please name some famous French-speaking artists where I would be able to find an article on them?

This is for a French assignment where I need to research a French-speaking artist (includes, but not limited to, painters, actors, singers) and will need to find an article on them. This article should preferably not be a biography. I will need to write a summary on it afterwords.





I'm asking this because I am not too familiar with the French-speaking culture.

The name of the French Music Hall artist who as his act, broke wind on stage?

He always dressed in evening suit.

The name of the French Music Hall artist who as his act, broke wind on stage?
His real name was Jospeh Pujol and he was born in 1857. His stage name was Le Petomane. (French for "The Farting Gentleman") The actor Leonard Rossiter (Rigsby in Rising Damp) played him in a film of his life and career.





He took the stage in a red coat, a red silk collar and black satin breeches. He began by explaining each impersonation that was to follow.





"This is a little girl... this is a bride on her wedding night (small noise) ... the morning after (loud rasping noise) ... a dressmaker tearing calico (ten seconds of ripping cloth) ... and this a cannon (loud thunder)."





The incongruity between his sophisticated evening wear and what he did when he was on stage was the source of his appeal, it seems.

I think you are referring to Joan of Arc, (c. 1412 to鈥?May 30, 1431) was a 15th century saint and national heroine of France. She was the only person ever recorded to have commanded the entire army of a nation at the age of seventeen. She was captured by the English and tried by an ecclesiastical court led by Bishop Pierre Cauchon, an English partisan; the court convicted her of heresy and she was burned at the stake by the English when she was nineteen years old. Twenty-four years later, the Vatican reviewed the decision of the ecclesiastical court, found her innocent, and declared her a martyr. She was beatified in 1909 and canonized as a saint in 1920.


Joan asserted that she had visions from God that told her to recover her homeland from English domination late in the Hundred Years' War (not the French Revolution. It did not occur until 1789, lasting until鈥?799, when Napoleon came to power). The uncrowned King Charles VII sent her to the siege at Orleans as part of a relief mission. She gained prominence when she overcame the dismissive attitude of veteran commanders and lifted the siege in only nine days.


She refused to leave the field when she was wounded during an attempt to recapture Paris that autumn. Hampered by court intrigues, she led only minor companies from then onward and fell prisoner at a skirmish near Compiegne the following spring. A politically motivated trial convicted her of heresy. The English regent John of Lancaster, 1st Duke of Bedford had her burnt at the stake in Rouen. She had been the heroine of her country at 17 and died when only 19 years old. Some 24 years later, Pope Callixtus III reopened the case, and a new finding overturned the original conviction. Her piety to the end impressed the retrial court. Pope Benedict XV canonized her (or declared her a saint) on May 16, 1920.


Joan, or Jeanne in French, was the daughter of Jacques D'Arc and Isabelle de Vouthon , and she was one of 5 children (her siblings were Jacquemin, Jean, Pierre and Catherine). Her father was a local tax collector and farmer in Domremy . Her parents owned about 50 acres (0.2 square kilometers) of land in an isolated patch of northeastern territory that remained loyal to the French crown despite being surrounded by Burgundian lands. Several local raids occurred during her childhood and on one occasion her village was burned.


Joan said she was about 19 at her trial, so she was born about 1412; she later testified that she experienced her first vision around 1424 at the age of 12 years when she was out alone in a field and heard voices. She had said she cried when they left as they were so beautiful. She would report that St. Michael, St. Catherine, and St. Margaret told her to drive out the English and bring the Dauphin to Reims for his coronation.


Robert de Baudricourt granted her an escort to visit Chinon after news from the front confirmed her prediction of a military reversal at Orleans. Upon arriving at the royal court she impressed Charles VII during a private conference. He then ordered background inquiries and a theological examination at Poitiers to verify her morality. During this time Charles's mother-in-law Yolande of Aragon was financing a relief expedition to Orleans. Joan petitioned for permission to travel with the army and wear the equipment of a knight. She depended on donated items for her armour, horse, sword, banner, and entourage. Her armor was said to be white. When the Dauphin Charles granted Joan's urgent request to be equipped for war and placed at the head of his army, his decision must have been based in large part on the knowledge that every orthodox, every rational, option had been tried and had failed. Only a regime in the final straits of desperation would pay any heed to an illiterate farm girl who claimed that the voice of God was instructing her to take charge of her country's army and lead it to victory.


After minor action at La-Charit茅-sur-Loire in November and December1429, Joan went to Compiegne the following April to defend against an English and Burgundian siege. A skirmish on May 23, 1430 led to her capture. When she ordered a retreat, she assumed the place of honor as the last to leave the field. Burgundians surrounded the rear guard. It was customary for a captive's family to ransom a prisoner of war, but her family lacked the needed finances to do so. She attempted several escapes, on one occasion jumping from her 70 foot (21 m) tower in Vermandois to the soft earth of a dry moat, after which she was moved to the Burgundian town of Arras.


Her trial took place before an English-backed church court in Rouen, France in the first half of the year 1431 was, by general consensus, one of the most significant and moving trials ever conducted in human history. Her fate was sealed, more or less, with the trial's opening words--"Here begin the proceedings in matter of faith against a dead woman, Jeanne, commonly known as the Maid". The first order of business was a preliminary inquiry into Joan's character and habits. An examination as to Joan's virginity was conducted sometime prior to January 13, overseen by the Duchess of Bedford . At the same time, representatives of Pierre Cauchon, the Bishop of Beauvais and the man who would preside over the Trial, were sent to Domremy and vicinity to inquire further into Joan's life, her habits, and virtue, with several witnesses being interviewed.





The result of these inquiries was that nothing could be found against Joan to support any charges against her. Clerical notary Nicolas Bailly, commissioned to collect testimony against Joan of Arc, could find no adverse evidence.











(A much longer article about her is on the site http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joan_of_Arc... and her trial is described on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trial_of_Jo...
Reply:I believe you're thinking of Joan of Arc; however, she lived (abt 1412 - 1431) long before the French Revolution (1789-1799). She WAS French, however.
Reply:As my predecessors suggest, you're almost surely thinking of Joan of Arc, a key leader in the Hundred Years War, which lasted 116 years from 1337 to 1453, to expulse the British from French soil. She was indeed burnt at the stake and no one - man or woman - was during the French Revolution (1789-1799).





I did find this rather interesting article on women in the French Revolution. Thought you might enjoy it.





Women and the French Revolution





(1789 - 1795)





Peasant and laboring-class French women had always been politically active in times of crises 鈥?they were responsible for putting bread on the table, and during times of hardship, such as famine, when bread was unavailable or expensive, women had traditionally marched to the civic center to beseech the local government to ameliorate their misery. During the French Revolution, this tradition would be followed with one exception: Parisian women no longer marched to the civic center to petition the local magistrates, but rather they marched first to the royal palace itself and sent their petitions directly to the king then, later, they marched to the national legislature.





Late in 1788 King Louis XVI called the French Estates General into session for first time in 175 years to deal with the kingdom's financial crisis. Elections were held and other preparations were made for the Estates General which was scheduled to begin on May 1, 1789. Rather than deal with the financial problems, the first issue the parlement dealt with was how voting was to take place: by orders or by head.





The old Estates General was divided into three estates: the nobility, the clergy, and the commoners. Each estate had one vote, and, often in the past, the clergy and the nobility had banded together to constantly defeat any proposals for reform from the commoners. The commoners were determined that that would not be so in the current assembly and pushed for the vote of each representative to be counted as a separate vote. Unable to agree on a voting method, the Third Estate (commoners) and lower clergy broke away from the Estates General and formed the National Assembly on June 17, 1789. Admitting defeat, on June 27, Louis XVI, first conciliatory then bellicose, ordered his nobles and the upper clergy to join the National Assembly which would remains in session until Sept 1791, effectively ending the Estates General after only 5 weeks (May 6 to June 17, 1789).





In mid-July, Louis once again tried to repress the elected assembly and crowds roamed the Paris streets seeking arms with which to defend the gains of the previous weeks. They came upon the Bastille, a fortress that was believed to contain arms as well as political prisoners. The crowd stormed their way in, and that symbol of oppression fell on July 14, 1789. Even today, the French celebrate Bastille Day much as Americans celebrate July 4, 1776.





The contagion spread to the countryside and peasants protested traditional feudal obligations. Fearing a full-scale revolt, on August 4 -5, secular and religious representatives of the First and Second Estates surrendered their feudal privileges; municipalities, provinces, and towns followed. By the end of the month, the National Assembly had promulgated the Declaration of the Rights of Man, a stirring document which outlines basic human rights and still today as revered by the French as Americans revere the Declaration of Independence.





As the political crisis deepened, civil authority broke down, the economic crises deepened, and bread prices rose in Paris and in the countryside. To have the king and the government closer to the people where the people could keep an eye on their activities, on October 5, 1789, the women of Paris marched to the royal palace of Versailles to return the king and his family to the city of Paris or, in the words of contemporary revolutionaries, to "bring back the baker, his wife, and the little apprentice" back to Paris. For any one who has never been to Versailles, I can only say, words fail to describe it; the ostentatious grandeur of both the buildings and the grounds which abounds there is almost unlimited. The front fa莽ade of the main building alone is almost a mile long; the magnificent, manicured grounds are, well, fit only for a King. The luxury in which the king, his family, and the nobility lived while the peasants slaved away for their absent owners vividly demonstrates the travesty of justice which was 18th century France.





After that outburst, the political scene was relatively calm, considering there was a revolution in process. But the revolution was orderly: people paraded, petitioned parlement, edited newspapers, debated the issues of the day, and took part in parliamentary activities, while the legislators went about the business of founding a new government, specifically writing a new constitution by which the French people would govern themselves. For almost 2 years, from Nov 1789 to the summer of 1791, the National Assembly drafted the Constitution of 1791, reorganized the nation into 83 departments, eliminated the nobility as a legally defined class, made the Catholic Church an agency of the state, appropriated church property to pay off the monarchy's debt, and extended full citizenship to Jews and other religious minorities.





While the National Assembly was debating the suffrage issue, Condorcet published his "On Giving Women the Right of Citizenship" in the Journal de la Societe of 1789, No. 5, July, 1790.





Meanwhile, women formed clubs in which they met together to learn how to become citizens of a great nation, rather than subjects of a king, and to press for specific legislation. According to Levy, et al, Revolutionary era women wanted equality of rights within marriage, the right to divorce, extended rights of widows over property and of widowed mothers over their minor children, publicly guaranteed educational opportunities for girls (including vocational training for poor girls), public training, licensing, and support for midwives in all provinces, guaranteed right to employment, and the exclusion of men from specific traditionally-female professions, like dress-making.





In June 1791, after the royal family attempted to flee France, was stopped near border, and was returned to Paris: the national mood became a bit uglier. Many now viewed the king as a traitor to his own country, a despot who would invite foreign armies into his own country to help him regain his lost power. The revolution continued with less support for the monarchy and louder calls for a republic. Conceived as a prologue to the still unwritten constitution, in August 1791 the Declaration of the Rights of Man was promulgated by the National Assembly. In September 1791, National Assembly was replaced by a newly elected body, the Legislative Assembly, a constitutional monarchy.





Only now did Olympe de Gouge write the Declaration of the Rights of Women and the Citizeness (1791), possibly the best known tract on the rights of women from the period, as a response to the Declaration to the Rights of Man and its silence regarding women.





Many reforms from this period were detrimental to the sans-culottes (the working and peasant classes): male suffrage was limited to men who paid at least 3 days worth of wages as taxes, disfranchising many men, and public aid was restricted even for able-bodied men and women who could not find employment (and employment was scarce because so many of the aristocracy had fled France). War against foreign forces who wanted to restore Louis's power, return of political instability and the resulting economic hardship, and their desires for sexual equality mobilized women once again to act collectively in their own behalf resulting in even more marches, more clubs, more petitions, and increased use of the taxation populaire.





The National Convention, which abolished the monarchy and established the French First Republic, sat from August 1792 to 1795. In the new elections, Girondins (moderate Republicans) came to power, but their laissez-faire economic policies did not ameliorate the condition of the lower classes. Louis XVI was tried on charges of treason and convicted; he was executed on January 21, 1793.





In 1793, the Society of Revolutionary Republican Women, created by sans-culotte women, lasted only six months before it was shut down by authorities. Advocating issues of interest to the radical middle-class and the Parisian poor, such as penal reform, occupational training for girls, public morality, and economic reforms and finding their petitions ignore by the moderate Girondins, the sans-culotte women allied with the Jacobins, tipping the balance of power in the Girondin / Jacobin struggle toward the Jacobins. Once the Jacobins consolidated their victory over the Girondins, the Jacobins moved to co-opt parts of the R茅publicaines-r茅volutionnaires agenda, to silence their leaders, and to disband their organization. As critical of the Jacobins for failing to implement their alleged economic policies as they had been critical of the Girondins for failing to adopt their economic polices, the R茅publicaines-r茅volutionnaires continued to press the Jacobins with their radical demands, demanding among other things that all women wear the Revolutionary dress and cockade. A law was duly passed to require all women to wear the proscribed articles and when the R茅publicaines-r茅volutionnaires tried to have the law enforced, market women rebelled and petitioned the Convention for the abolition of the Society. The Convention seized their opportunity, dissolved the Society, and outlawed all women's clubs and associations. Freed of its most powerful restraint, the Montagnards led by Robepierre proclaimed the Revolutionary Government on the next day, October 30, 1793. The Terror, which had been simmering below the surface, exploded in a violent cataclysm of human

Name one important French person from the French and Indian War?

Armand de La Richardie





Born at Perigueux, he entered the Society of Jesus at Bordeaux, 4 October 1703, and in 1725 was sent to the Canada mission. He spent the two following years helping Father Pierre Daniel Richer at Lorette, and studying the Huron language. In 1728 he went to Detroit to re-establish the long-interrupted mission to the dispersed Petun-Hurons in the West. Not a solitary professing Christian did he find, but among the aged not a few had been baptized. The new Indian church, though "seventy cubits long" (105ft?) was scarcely spacious enough to contain the fervent congregation of practising Hurons. During the night, 24-25 March, 1746, the father was stricken with paralysis, and on 29 July he was placed in an open canoe and thus conveyed to Quebec.





In 1747 the Hurons insisted on his returning to restore tranquillity to their nation. The father had almost completely recovered from his palsy, and willingly consented. He set out from Montreal on 10 September, and reached Detroit on 20 October. From this date until 1751, leaving the loyal Hurons in the keeping of Father Potier at the Detroit village, he directed all his energies to reclaiming Nicolas Orontondi's band of insurgent Hurons. These had already in 1740, owing to a bloody feud with the Detriot Ottawas and to the reluctance , if not refusal, of Governor Beauharnais to let the Hurons remove to Montreal, sullenly left Detroit and settled at "Little Lake" (now Rondeau Harbour) near Sandusky. There they had been won over to the English cause, had openly revolted in 1747, and had murdered a party of Frenchmen. Early in the spring of 1748 Orontondi set fire to the fort and cabins at Sandusky, and withdrew to the White River, not far from the junction of the Ohio and Wabash Rivers. Until his death, which occurred some time after September, 1749, Orontondi continued to intrigue with the English emissaries, the Iroquois, and the disaffected Miamis. When there was no longer doubt of the renegade leader's demise, de La Richardie resolved on a final attempt at conciliation. He had already at intervals spent months at a time among the fugitives, and now in September, 1750, at the peril of his life he started, with only three canoe men for the country of the "Nicolites" as they were then termed. The greater number remained obdurate. It is the descendants of the latter who in July, 1843, removed from their lands at Upper Sandusky, Ohio, to beyond the Mississippi, to occupy the Wyandot reserve in the extreme north-eastern part of Oklahoma. The father's failing strength obliged his superiors to recall him to Quebec in 1751, and on 30 June he bade a final farewell to the Detroit mission. From the autumn of 1751 until his death he filled various offices in Quebec College. His Huron name was Ondechaouasti. He died at Quebec.

Why did the Chinese give the French name of paper mache?

Actually, they didn't.





Papier Mache (French for “chewed paper”) is believed to have got its name from French workers in London papier mache shops who did just that! Whether this is actually true or not we shall probably never know. The manufacturers didn’t seem to mind this idea being put about - possibly because it gave them the chance to hide their true methods and recipes, some of which little is known about even today.

No, I laughed so hard when I heard it I swallowed my coffee down the wrong pipe. Most French wouldn't have understood it anyway as we call French fries 'frites' and we know they come from Belgium. When explained to them my countrymen and women just shook their head in wonder at such childishness, and I think for many (and I know for myself) in terror that such stupidity and childishness could be found in the leaders of the most powerful country in the world.

French fries got their name from the man who "invented" them. His last name was french. Report Abuse

Reply:That makes a bit more sense...and where the hell did "Freedom Fries" come from? I've never even HEARD of them! [I'm an American who has quite a few French connections] Report Abuse

Reply:I think we, french, just don't care about how people call those french fries. First, french fries is not a french invention but a belgian one. Second, we never called them french fries but just "frites" (fries), it's why, thrid, a lot of french don't even know that english spoken people called this french fries (and now freedom fries - by the way, why freedom fries ? I've never heard about that). So call them as you want, it won't change their taste ! And the more you talk about them, the less you eat some !
Reply:I'm French living in the US and I thought that was one the most ridiculous thing Americans came up with. Fries are not even from France, they are from Belgium so really we should all be calling them Belgium Fries!





Personally I did not eat anywhere that changed their menu from french fries to freedom fries because I refuse to contribute to the stupidity and ignorance of those business owners who are clearly pro-Bush - who is an even bigger joke in France
Reply:I think most of us did not even pay attention, it s very childish and moreover the french fries are not french at all , they are from belgium.


I would have prefered from some american politicians to tell us where are the weapons of mass destructions, why was Saddam Hussein a bigger danger than others dictators , for instance Kim Jong ill who really have the weapons of mass of destruction, why did not the coalition get rid of Saddam in 1991 but in 2003 it was time for him to be overthrown.


Why did they say that they were going to bring democracy to Irak but 75 % of muslim nations are not democracies (Saudi Arabia one of the biggest human rights violator in this world but a main ally of the US)


What were the real ties between Al Quaida and Saddam Hussein, was Saddam Hussein behind 9/11 ?


It s clear that Saddam was really bloody ruthless dictator, it was a good thing to get rid of him, but why there is no coalition or help towards Darfur in Sudan or in North Korea ?





But it s over now, there is no grudge from french people at all.
Reply:We dont give a damn !!! first of all fries come from Belgium, not from France so we still dont know why you call them "french fries"..





Beside what irritate us much is that you allways fall into the political games and believe what ever your president is telling you....of course now that you found out that 80% of the planete did not agreed on your approach about Irak , you are starting to think that maybe the French were not so wrong about refusing to send troops in Irak for nothing and to open the Pandaora's box in middle east that you have today great difficulties to close... good job really , I think you should seriously start to think that GOD is not american...you will see it help to see the world in a better way.
Reply:My French friends thought that it was absurd and a confirming instance of the fact that you could fit all the intelligence and good sense in congress into a thimble and still have room for George Bush's grasp of reality.






Reply:No most French said "WOW poor americans...that's so childish..."





Whole Europe laughed at this.





Do you seriously believe that French care about the way you name fries in the US?? LOL






Reply:no because it never caught on. nobody actually says "freedom fries" and French fries were not created in France.
Reply:No because the french don't care about the united states and their arrogant ignorant ways
Reply:was it a negative thing? I thought it was the contrary.
Reply:Have never even heard about it until reading it here!!!

What is the name of the French innovation centre in micro and nano technologies?

plz i need the answer

What is the name of the French innovation centre in micro and nano technologies?
Hi again Nikki,





Are you doing some sort of French trivia contest??





It looks like nanotechnology in France is organized around 5 centres. They are coordinated under an umbrella heading: Reseau National de MicroNanoTechnologies (RMNT, National Micro and Nano Technology Network).





I think the particular centre you might be interested in is the CEA-LETI in Grenoble. But I suppose it might also be the institute in Lille, although that looks smaller from the British Embassy document.





I also saw that googling 'French nanotechnology centre' turns up a pdf that looks pretty recent and detailed.





BTW: In case you didn't notice, I also answered your question about the French doctor ...

How is the name Beatrice pronounced in French?

My daughter Beatrice is beginning a Jr. High french class and is wondering how her name is pronounced in French. We can't seem to find it in online audio dictionaries. Anyone have first hand knowledge?

How is the name Beatrice pronounced in French?
In French her name would be Béatrice, with an acute (or in French, “aigu”) accent on the first E.





It would be pronounced:





BAY-uh-TREECE





with equal stress on the first and last syllables (maybe a tiny little bit more on the first, actually, although to some degree it is personal preference). As others have alluded, the French R is not like the English R. It is what's referred to as a “uvular fricative,” meaning you roll the R at the back of the throat.





In response to some of the other posters:





The reason mine is different is because, for example, in the US the A in the name Matthew is pronounced very differently than in the UK. Even though the word "bey" is pronounced "bay," it is not a phonetic spelling. Someone might presume "bey" rhymed with "key" or "abbey" if they weren't familiar with the pronunciation of that fairly obscure word. In the US, the A in Matthew is not the same as the "O" sound as in "on," nor is it the same as the "A" in "Pay," which is the sound of the E in the name Béatrice. Not knowing where the asker of the question is from, or who might read this question in the future, I try to use phonetic words that are fairly common to all accents.
Reply:beyatreece





the stress is on TREECE


the R is like a french R.





edit: why do i get thumbs down, my pronunciation is exactly the same as Justin's. it's asking for the pronunciation, not for the spelling.
Reply:BE (With a short E as in Elephant)


A (a pure A as in Matthew)


TRISS. Get the R from the back of the mouth and the I is as in Bliss.





The emphasis will be in the last syllable.
Reply:Well according to sources I looked up in French it is pronounced Bee acht riss

How did the French fry get its name?
Check this out....





http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_frie...
Reply:It comes from the process of cooking the fries. French Fried Potato. Shortened in our I want it now world to French Fry.
Reply:they are fries and they came from the french country
Reply:They use to dip french people in boiling grease as torture. Someone thought maybe i should dip food and see what it's like. It worked so they call it a French Fry because they used to Fry the French.
Reply:it was discovered in france! get it french,france.
Reply:Origin


The logical explanation of the origin of the North American name of the dish is that it derives from potatoes that have been "fried in the French manner". The English verb fry is ambiguous: it can refer to both to saut茅ing and to deep-fat frying, while the French pommes frites or patates frites ("fried potatoes") refers unambiguously to deep frying. Thomas Jefferson, famous for including (then relatively unknown in America) European, especially French cuisine in his writings and recipes, referred to fried potatoes in this same manner.





It is sometimes speculated that the word "french" in "french fries" refers to the verb "to french", which means "to cut in thin lengthwise strips before cooking" (Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary, Tenth Ed.) On the other hand, "to french" is defined as "to prepare, as a chop, by partially cutting the meat from the shank and leaving bare the bone so as to fit it for convenient handling" (Oxford English Dictionary) in other dictionaries, seeming to suggest that the meaning of this process is not necessarily as set as it may appear. In addition, the verb "to french" did not start appearing until after "french fried potatoes" had appeared in the English-speaking world.





Other accounts say that they were once called 'German fries' but the name was changed either for political reasons (Germany was the enemy of the United States and Allied forces during WWI and WWII) or for simple historical reasons (a traditional theory poses that it was in France during World War I that American soldiers first encountered the dish). This seems unlikely, as Germany was not as famous for its "french fries" as other European countries, in addition to the fact that German immigrants did not seem to bring the dish over to the United States.





The Belgians are noted for claiming that french fries are Belgian in origin, but have presented no absolute evidence; the French have also been cited as possible creators of the dish, though most in France associated fries with Belgium. The Spanish claim that the dish was invented in Spain, the first European country in which the potato appeared via the New World colonies, and then spread to Belgium which was then under Spanish rule. However, as Belgian immigrants lived in Spain at the time, it may have well been a 'Spanish' dish invented by a Belgian chef. Whether or not french fries were invented in Belgium or Spain, they have become the national dish, and they (Belgium) are the "symbolic" creators, at least for the rest of Europe.





French fries have gained international prominence perhaps partly due to their pre-eminence in fast-food menus, propagated by fast-food chains like McDonald's and Burger King (Hungry Jacks in Australia). This came about through the introduction of the frozen french fry invented by the J.R. Simplot Company in the early 1950's. Prior to the legendary handshake deal between Ray Kroc of McDonald's and Jack Simplot of the J.R. Simplot Company, fries were hand cut and peeled in the back of McDonald's stores, but the advent of the frozen product dovetailed with Kroc's need for quick prep products and expansion of his new franchise across America. In America, french fries are typically served with hamburgers, a latter-day descendant of the French "steak-frites" combination. They are also often eaten with meat, fish, and vegetables or by themselves. They also make up half of the classic food combinations fish and chips and "moules-frites", a popular Belgian dish consisting of steamed mussels and french fries.





[edit]


History


Many possible claims as to the origin of "french fries" exist.





Many attribute the dish to France, and offer as evidence a notation by U.S. President Thomas Jefferson. "Potatoes deep-fried while raw, in small slices" are noted in a manuscript in Thomas Jefferson's hand (circa 1801) and the recipe almost certainly comes from his French chef, Honor茅 Julien. In addition, from 1813 ("The French Cook" by Louis Ude) on recipes for what can be described as "french fries" occur in popular American cookbooks. Recipes for fried potatoes in French cookbooks date back at least to Menon's "Les soupers de la cour" (1755). However, according to the Food Reference Web site, the first reference to French fried potatoes in English was in 1894 in O. Henry's Rolling Stones, "Our countries are great friends. We have given you Lafayette and French fried potatoes."





However, when the controversy over Freedom Fries first began, the French embassy claimed that the food was actually Belgian. Belgium itself also lays claim as the "origin" of French Fries. Jo Gerard, a famous Belgian historian, claims to have proof that this recipe for potatoes was already used in 1680, in the area of the Meuse valley between Dinant and Li猫ge, Belgium. The poor inhabitants of this region had the custom of accompanying their meals with small fried fish, but when the river was frozen and they were unable to fish, they cut potatoes lengthwise and fried them in oil to accompany their meals. (Belgian Federal Portal) In 1861, a Belgian entrepreneur named Frits is said to have opened a stand selling this product. He is also said to have given it its own name, frites, which is the French name for the dish in Belgium. Even up to today every village in Belgium has several of these fries (friterie) stands selling fries as the main dish and, in case something extra is desired, a varied choice of fried meat products to go with it.





The Spanish claim for originating french fries claims the first appearance of the recipe to have been in Galicia, where it was used as an accompaniment for fish dishes, and from which it spread to the rest of the country and then to Belgium.





The British also claim the "Chip" was invented in Yorkshire in the 1700s where it is believed that the potato was cut to the distinctive shape so that they may be lined up between two pieces of bread to make a Chip Butty.
Reply:For also in the 1840s, pomme frites ("fried potatoes") first appeared in Paris. Sadly, we don't know the name of the ingenious chef who first sliced the potato into long slender pieces and fried them. But they were immediately popular, and were sold on the streets of Paris by push-cart vendors.





Frites spread to America where they were called French fried potatoes. You asked how they got their name--pretty obvious, I'd say: they came from France, and they were fried potatoes, so they were called "French fried potatoes." The name was shortened to "french fries" in the 1930s.





By the way, the verb "to french" in cooking has come to mean to cut in long, slender strips, and some people insist that "french fries" come from that term. However, the French fried potato was known since the middle 1800s, while the OED cites the first use of the verb "to french" around 1895, so it appears pretty convincing that "french fried potatoes" came before the verb "frenching." The origin of the name is thus the country of origin French and not the cooking term french.
Reply:they came from Belgium, a french speaking country.
Reply:in France where it originated.
Reply:It was made from France and probably brought to America by French people and they called it French Fries.
Reply:They were invented by some cook in France who tried to fry potatoes...and the French Fry was born!
Reply:French fry wasn't invented in France. (Its origin is probably Belgian.) But the "French" in French fries doesn't refer to its country of origin. It refers to the way in which this side dish is prepared.





Food that is cut into strips is said to be "Frenched." Since French fries are strips of potato that have been fried, they became known as French fried potatoes, or "French fries."
Reply:Is from france and we fry it
Reply:they can't find one from burger king
Reply:when they were invented (in the 1900's) we were very good allies with the french. and they were fried, so they were named the "french fry!"

What is the name of this French Holocaust Film?

I watched a film a few years ago and I can't remember the title. I am fairly sure it was a French film. It was the story of a gay man in Nazi occupied France. He gets betrayed by his brother (who does not mean it to be so terrible) and his boyfriend dies and he is sent to a concentration camp. His female friend is another central character. She marries the brother (though she always seems to be in love with the gay man) and has a baby. The guy gets a lobotomy and dies at the end.

Does anyone know the name of the french film that has all the short love stories?

I want to get it for my mom for christmas since she absolutely loved it in theaters.

Does anyone know the name of the french film that has all the short love stories?
what year is it from?


i found Love and the Frenchwoman(1960)


Love and the Frenchwoman (La Francaise et L'Amour) concentrates on the nature of love by illustrating seven separate aspects of the emotion. In "Childhood," 9-year old Pierre-Jean Vaillard suffers a traumatic experience when he takes his parents' "cabbage patch" theory of conception too literally. In "Adolescence," a little girl (Annie Sinigalla) constructs an elaborate fantasy world on the occasion of her first kiss. "Virginity" is a study in frustration, as betrothed couple Valerie Lagrange and Pierre Michel agonizingly await their wedding-night consummation of their ardor. "Marriage" finds a union ending almost before it begins as a pair of newlyweds (Marie-Jose Nat and Claude Rich) bicker all the way to their honeymoon rendezvous. "Adultery" allows husband Paul Meurisse the opportunity to calmly provide an object lesson to his wife's lover Jean-Paul Belmondo. In "Divorce", a couple (Annie Girardot and Francois Pierer) find that it's impossible to have a "civilized" breakup. And in "A Woman Alone," bigamist Robert Lamoreaux meets his Waterloo in the forms of Martine Carol and Sylvia Montfort.

How to say what is your name in French?

I've just begun French 1 today, and I remember most of everything but how to ask for a name.


How do yo say my name is____, also? I think I've got it right, I just need to double check.


Danke Schoen. (german yay)

How to say what is your name in French?
I don't know about German, but in French to ask what someones name is, there are too ways of saying it, both meaning the same thing.





Comment tu t'appelles?- Both meaning what is your name?


Comment t'appelles-tu?





To say my name is in French: Je m'appelle...
Reply:What's your name:


FORMAL: Comment vous appellez- vous?


INFORMAL: Comment t'appelles- tu?





My name is:


Je m'appelle....





You can also use, "Je suis ____" but Je m'appelle is "my name is..."
Reply:My name is... = Je m'appelle...


What is your name? = Quel(le) est votre nom?


Or if you've already introduced yourself, just say, "Et toi?"
Reply:Je m'appelle Jenna, comment t'appelles tu? (spelling might be off, it's been awhile!)
Reply:Je m'appelle ....


What's the name of that French stew you keep adding ingredients to?

It can go on for days, adding ingredients as the volume gets low, but it usually has white beans and sausages, and I've made it with kale and carrots and funny-shaped noodles... I think the name starts with a "C", but my memory has taken the morning off. Thanks.

What's the name of that French stew you keep adding ingredients to?
You are thinking of "cassoulet," perhaps. It consists of white beans, sausage, duck, etc.





But the stew that you "keep adding ingredients to" is called "pot au feu" (pot at the fire) and comes from an era when NOTHING was thrown away.





Hope I helped out a little.

How do you pronounce the name Bronwyn in french?

Could you break it down into syllabols and how you would pronounce the syllabols please. Thanks :)

How do you pronounce the name Bronwyn in french?
'bronwyn' is an american misunderstanding of a welsh name. because the name is artificial to start with there is no 'correct' pronunciation - but many french speakers would attempt to emulate the 'american' pronunciation of the name. this would probably result in some such sound as 'brohn - ween'.





the original welsh name 'bronwen' means 'white-breasted girl'. seeing it spelled 'bronwyn' always makes welsh people either flinch or laugh, because if the name 'bronwyn' existed it would be the masculine form of 'bronwen'.





'white-breasted boy' just doesn't sound right. or perhaps that is only to me.





....





and of course it isn't only the americans who spell bronwen this unsettling way.one of the most beautiful, cleverest, and most graceful girls i ever met was a bronwyn from johannesburg.





her name still made me giggle.
Reply:Bronwyn is not a French name. In French, it would be pronounced "BRAWN wen" or BRAWN win.), with the final "n" more nasal, as the 'n: usually is in French.
Reply:I'd say you would pronounce it in two syllables in French





Bron= braun





Wyn= veen*





*note that in French, "w"s are pronounced "v", possibly because the letter "w" is named "double v (vay)" in French.


Again, as above, it's not a French name originally, but that's about how you would pronounce in French.
Reply:BROWNIE
Reply:Oh thats a hard one as this name is not french originally...


Ok lets see if we can help you.


I pronounce it Bro- Ne- Win


- BrrO (as in hey Bro, but I insiste on the "R" as if I wanted to clear my throat. The "O" is not to be pronounced "Oe" as in John Doe, but simple and strictly "O" like in Orange).


- Ne = as simple as you can. Almost like "Nah!"


-Win = as in the verb "to win"


.I hope it helps...Gee I wish we could record stuff on this Yahoo language thing..lol

Che Guevara had a french associate named Dubrae (spelling?) while in Bolivia. What was his exact name?

What ever happened to this frenchman after his conviction in Bolivia?

Che Guevara had a french associate named Dubrae (spelling?) while in Bolivia. What was his exact name?
His exact name is Jules Regis Debray.





After his conviction in Bolivia in 1967 he served a little time in Bolivia. Although sentenced to 30 years, he was released after 3 years, due to an international campaign (which included De Gaulle and Pope Paul VI no less!). He then went to Chile, until Pinochet's coup in 1973, whereupon he returned to France.


Today he is still alive and well in France and writing.
