Chiens Français


Did you know? France is the number one European country for households with pets. Over 44 million pets have homes in France.





More than 44% of French households have a dog and/or cat.




According to a study in 2004, there are over 7.6 million dogs living in France.




Most of the French own some sort of mixed breed of dog, however, the most popular breeds are poodles, labradors, and yorkshire terriers. 




Just like in the United States, the French microchip and have insurance for their pets.




Although, you may have a hard time finding someone to care for your dog because apps like Rover and Wag! have yet to make their way to France.

Blog Post 3-Snorkeling

 Snorkeling was something I have never done out in the ocean, it was a great experience I got to see deeper into the ecosystem of the ocean. This area was no coral reef with tropical fish but, I was able to see a variety of fishes I haven't seen before. Being able to see their habitats and how some swim in little schools with each other was very interesting. Seeing the seagrass at the bottom was new as well, usually, I am used to regular seaweed. My favorite part was being able to see a jellyfish, I had never seen one in person before that wasn't beached. Overall, snorkeling was a great and new experience and I got to see more of the fish ecosystem than ever before. Macie Mattocks

Marine biology of the Mediterranean - Francesca Conway

  This week we got to go scuba diving, we went to Cimiez, visited Musee Massena and we went to Monaco and went to the oceanographic museum. We went scuba diving in seagrass which is something I have not done before. We got to hold a short-spined sea urchin and I could feel it sticking to my hands. Cimiez and the Massena Museum were beautiful and the gardens looked Nice. Monaco was my favorite part of this week. The ocean view was so pretty. The oceanographic museum was amazing and the moon jellyfish were mesmerizing. I really enjoyed walking around the museum and learning about old fishing patterns.

Fish everywhere! Nastia Andreyeva

  This week I had a lot of fun snorkeling in the ocean which is something I’ve never had the chance to do. I think that it helped me a lot not be as scared of the ocean when I go to the beach by seeing all the types of animals that are swimming around in that area. I was surprised to see how many groups of little fish there were swimming around and the vary of the marine animals there were as well. This week I also learned a lot about Angelfish since I chose them to do my essay on. A fact that I learned about them while researching that I thought it was really cute that they stay loyal to their mates their whole lives.   Pufferfish at Musee Oceanographic in Monaco
