Most people associate French culture with Paris, which is a center of fashion, cuisine, art and architecture, but life outside of the City of Lights is very different and varies by region. France doesn't just have culture; the word culture actually comes from France. 'Culture' derives from the same French term, which in turn derives from the Latin colere, meaning to tend to the earth and grow, cultivation and nurture, Cristina De Rossi, an anthropologist at Barnet and Southgate College in London, told Live Science.
When used as a count noun, a culture is the set of customs, traditions, and values of a society or community, such as an ethnic group or nation. In this sense, multiculturalism is a concept that values the peaceful coexistence and mutual respect between different cultures inhabiting the same territory. Sometimes culture is also used to describe specific practices within a subgroup of a society, a subculture (e.g. bro culture), or a counter culture.
