The government of the French Republic is a semi-presidential system determined by the French Constitution of the fifth Republic.

PUBLIC SCHOOLS

It used to be commonly accepted that the French Education system was one of the best in the world. Today, though any such a bold overall affirmation must be open to question, it is still true to say that the French education system is one of the more successful in the world, and that in certain fields it remains a world leader.

SPORTS

Sports in France play an important role in French society, and the country has a strong sporting history. The most popular sport in France is football.

In France, the average household net-adjusted disposable income is 28 310 USD a year, more than the OECD average of 23 047 USD a year. But there is a considerable gap between the richest and poorest – the top 20% of the population earn more than four times as much as the bottom 20%.
