Watch Kids' Reviews of
FAMILIES OF FRANCE, VHS

Found it interesting if educational. "I would like to watch other videos like it to learn about different places." "It is amazing how some things are the same as me and other things are different." "The music was nice, especially when they sang songs as a family." "The vines are old and Euros are cool."

Excellent cultural information. Great curricular film. Not fancy. Breaks stereotypes: not all French children are like Madeline or wear berets. Gives an inside view instead of just an overview, like you've been on a trip to their country and stayed in their home. Leads to global understanding.

Children are transported to Lyon and Beaujolais, France, where they are taken into the homes and families of Emilien and of Moliere. Not only do they get an insider's view of French life, they can compare the differences between life in a major French city and in the French countryside.
