Hello Buddy... I kiss you... twice on the cheeks! But maybe this is a little unhygienic yes? But from a country whose succulent food dishes contain so much garlic, a wise choice of greeting to avoid the lips no?

My history notes page

Here's how the monarchy started. The first Celtic settlers arrived here around 500 BC and were conquered by the Romans to create Gaul about 58 BC. Then the Germanic tribes and Franks ruled the country around 500 AD.

The first Kingdom was created by the Frankish chief called Clovis 481 AD and was the first to use Paris as it’s capitol, this Kingdom crumbled after his death in around 511 AD. The first of the small emperors Pepin the short resurrected the Kingdom and founded a new dynasty called Carolingian.

The great Charlemagne who created The Holy Roman Empire united most of Europe, France included around 770 AD and when the Treaty of Verdun (843 AD) split the Holy Roman Empire into three separate parts the borders of the France we know today were created.

In the ninth century the royal lines began in Ernest, ending with madam le guillotine and a few chips off the old block during the French Revolution.

March 1789. Lack of food, unfair taxes, corruption by officials, want of freedom of equality. The masses speak and are ignored.

The declaration of The Rights Of man was officially created, 26 august 1789, based on the American Declaration of Independence.
