2000 ans d'Histoire de France

This is a French CD-ROM, published in Parish by Havas Edition Electronique -- the title, the instructions, the box descriptions, and the contents of the CD-ROM are completely French, intended for a French audience, no English at all. It is intended to teach and inform about French history, not to teach language per se. But because there is no English in the whole CD-ROM, it is perfect for students to practice reading and listenning comprehension in the context of learning French history.

The main menu offers you the choice of the following areas of study:

• Historical figures
• Historical events
• Day by day accounts of 1500 significant dates in French history, from -50 to 1958
• Historical geography of France, how the contour of the land has changed over history, maps from various ages

• Medieval & Renaissance (Janequin & Attaingnant)
• Baroque (Vivaldi & Bach)
• Liturgical (Vivaldi & Bach)
• Romantic piano solos (Beethoven & Chopin)
• Romantic orchestra selections (Bizet & Debussy)

There is spoken accompaniment, text, pictures, and music. It is an excellent history of France.
