Did you know that France is the only country in Europe that is completely self-sufficient in food production?

Essential questions:  

• What resources in France allow it to be self-sufficient?
• What products are yielded by the geography that drives the economy?

Choose one region that you would like to research for the class.  Your task is to gather the most important information about your region and to answer the following question:

• What is special or unique about your region?  (Think about Tourism and Cultural Identity)
