Hello everyone !
Canada owes its name to a Frenchman.
Canada owes its name to the French navigator Jacques Cartier (1491-1557), the first European to explore the Gulf of St. Lawrence and the surrounding lands.
In 1534, he left Saint-Malo, where he was born, landed in Gaspé, a city located in the very east of Canada, and took possession of it in the name of the King of France, François 1er.
A year later, Cartier asked directions from two Iroquoians, who then pointed him in the direction of “Kanata”.
In reality, they allude to the village of Stadacona, the current location of Quebec City.
For lack of another name, Cartier then uses the term “Canada” to designate this city and the surrounding territory.

Hello everyone !
Products from the Americas.
Tomato, potato, squash, bean, corn, peanut, pepper, cocoa, vanilla, pineapple... turkey, all these products were unknown in Europe, Asia and Africa before the discovery of America in 1492, by Christopher Colombus.
Our food memory is very short.
It is often limited to flavors and products discovered in childhood.
If we make an effort, we go back to a "very distant past", that is to say only to the childhood memories of our grandparents.
This is why the cuisine of the 19th century or the beginning of the 20th century seems to us to be a cuisine that has always existed, the one that our ancestors have always eaten since "the dawn of time".
Most of us are then very surprised to learn that our famous local products are sometimes a recent invention on a historical scale.
Can you imagine Mediterranean cuisine without tomatoes or zucchini? Savoyard cuisine without potatoes? Indian cuisine without chilli? African cuisine without cassava?

Hello everyone !
The Statue of Liberty is a gift from France.
This monumental sculpture is one of the greatest symbols of the United States.
Proudly erected on Liberty Island in New York, it is known throughout the world.
But did you know that it had been offered to the Americans by the French people, as a token of friendship?
The iconic statue was built in France for 9 years before being unveiled to the public on October 28, 1886 to mark the centenary of the declaration of independence of the United States.
It was classified as a national monument in 1924 and has been on the UNESCO World Heritage List since 1984.
Its official name is "Liberty Enlightening the World", or in French "La Liberté illuminant le monde".

Hello everyone !
The cemetery town of Colma has more dead than alive.
Located in the suburbs of San Francisco, the city of Colma is nicknamed "City of the Dead", "City of Souls" or "City of the Silent".
With chilling names like these, some explanation is in order, isn't it?
At the end of the 19th century, the gold rush rapidly increased the number of inhabitants of San Francisco and the population greatly feared the spread of contagious diseases, such as cholera.
The city's board of supervisors, concerned about lack of space and public health, voted to ban burials within city limits in the early 1900s.
Ten years later, the decision to exhume the corpses and transport them elsewhere was taken.
Therefore, the small municipality of Colma was officially created in 1924 to serve as a necropolis.
Today, there are 17 cemeteries in the small town where the number of buried bodies is a thousand times higher than the number of inhabitants.
No wonder the city's slogan is "It's great to be alive in Colma"!

Indian Summer
When it appeared in the United States, probably at the end of the 18th century, it referred to a peculiarity of the continental climate of North America.
This peculiarity occurs in Canada and the United States, between the beginning of October and mid-November.
The Indian summer corresponds to a period of surprisingly mild weather for the season and which arrives after an initial period of frost.
If the nights remain cool and the mornings misty, the daytime weather is then mild, sunny and dry.
Temperatures are at least 5°C higher than normal for the season and can exceed, sometimes briskly, 25°C.
The Indian summer can last between 3 and 8 days.

Lestotho: snow from May to August
A high altitude country, Lesotho is one of the few countries in Africa to see snowfall in winter.
When temperatures approach 0°C, the mountains are then covered with an immense white mantle.
An amazing sight to observe from May to August (the seasons are reversed).
Good day and good game ;)
