French is famous for its culture and the cultural heritage of its people. Ever since the fundamentals of modern Europe were established, France has played a major role in the European region. French art, music, architecture, monasteries, courts and literature played an important role on refining the western culture. After the resurgence, European cultures grew with a lot of independence and national languages took the place of Latin as mediums of expression in a progressive way. Culture blossomed in France leading to production of music and literature in French language and schools were established for architecture and art. French has thus made a big contribution to major human cultural legacy. Historically, some of the leading names in poetry, literature, philosophy, architecture, sculpture and painting are French. To date, their legacy remains a central part of the culture in Europe.
