What I Did:

I decided to go to the national geographic website to read up about some articles.

What I Learnt:

Words I did not know:

gawk - stare openly and stupidly.

osprey - a large fish-eating bird of prey with long, narrow wings and a white underside and crown, found throughout the world.

Summary:

France is the country with the 4th most amount of UNESCO world heritage sites. It has a total of 41 UNESCO sites and falls behind Italy, China and Spain.  There are many interesting UNESCO heritage sites like the Carcassonne, Chartres Cathedral and many more. All these were built during the medieval times and people who are fans of the 'knights in shining armour' concept would enjoy these places.
