It is unlucky to place a _________ upside down on a table.
BAGUETTE
This long-running superstition is said to date back to medieval times, when capital punishment was very much the done thing. At that time, bakers would leave a loaf of bread upside down to indicate they were intended to be picked up by executioners, leading to people avoiding the practice. If you do accidentally commit this faux pas in France, simply cut a cross into the underside of the baguette before you eat it.

The world’s first _________ was in Paris in 1896 by the Lumière brothers.
FILM SCREENING / MOVIE
Thanks to the Lumière brothers’ creation of a camera-projector called the Cinématographe, the world’s first film screening took place in the Grand Café in Paris in 1895. Their film was just a number of seconds in length and only showed workers leaving the Lumiere factory but it was impressive enough that they were able to charge admission later that year for their screening of short films showing scenes of French life.

The French invented the __________ 1783.
The first major public demonstration of Joseph and Étienne Montgolfier’s invention was held in front of King Louis XVI at the Palace of Versailles in 1783.
hot air balloon
The origin of the hot air balloon is said to date back as far as 181-280 AD in China, with unmanned lanterns sent into the sky. However, the passenger-carrying hot air balloon as we know it today comes from France.
Due to safety concerns, the passengers on this voyage were a sheep, a duck and a cockerel, who survived despite damage to the balloon sending it back to earth. As a reward for these ‘heroes of the sky,’ the animals were given a home in the Menagerie in Versailles.
