Which country has the most time zones? Not the US. Not Russia. It's France! 🌍 Thanks to its overseas territories, from Tahiti (UTC−10) to Wallis and Futuna (UTC+12), France spans 12 time zones. The US and Russia have 11 each. 🇫🇷 #France
Two people climb the same staircase and never meet. 🏰 At Château de Chambord, begun in 1519 for François I, two spiral flights wind around each other like DNA. You can wave through the openings, but you'll never cross paths. Likely inspired by Leonardo da Vinci. 🇫🇷 #France
A bridge taller than the Eiffel Tower? 🌉 The Millau Viaduct in southern France soars 343 m (1,125 ft) at its highest point, 13 m above the Eiffel Tower. Drivers cross 270 m (890 ft) above the Tarn valley, sometimes above the clouds. 🇫🇷 #France
A cheese with a royal charter? 🧀 In 1411, King Charles VI gave the village of Roquefort-sur-Soulzon the exclusive right to age its blue cheese in the caves beneath Mount Combalou. 600+ years later, real Roquefort still ripens only there. 🇫🇷 #FrenchCheese
Did you know Paris has a Statue of Liberty? 🗽 Several, actually. The best known stands on the Île aux Cygnes, facing west toward her big sister in New York. It was a gift from Americans living in Paris in 1889, returning the favor. 🇫🇷🇺🇸 #France
