Mon Influence sur la Culture Francaise

I was a great man who discovered a lot for Fance. I had a lot of discoverys and advantures during my life like numerous voyages. I brought the statue, Venus de Milo to Fance.I discovered a lot about sorrounding oceans which inflewenst modern France in mant ways like giving them the knowlege of what is around them.. 

After some of my voyages I wrote a book to inform Fance about the things I discovered. After I wrote the book france coul;d puplish it and it gave them pride. They were happy that I was such a great man just trying to learn more. I influenced france so much by giving them knowlege and giving them the oppertunity to go on even ferther to keep up with other constantly advancing countrys.

France was inflewenst by me and was adbvanced in many great ways. 

Because of all the great advances and developments I brought to my contry France I will be remebered in the Future a person that brought change and  advancement. I did all I could.I spent all my life discovering more about my contry.I lifed for France. Because of all the things I did for France other contrys look up to us and think -what a great contry-
