French across the globe!

Did you know there are 53 French countries/nations/territories in the world?

Which ones have you had a chance to visit?

3 things you should know about Wallis & Futuna

* a local might invite you for a cup of “Kava”. Be careful though, it will knock you block off!

* there is absolutely no public transport on both islands, so the best way to explore is by scooter.
