We're looking for sites that contain useful reference material or a nice overview of Francophone culture. We're especially looking for interesting and informative pages in French where students can practice their French skills. If you know of some good pages in French, send me an e-mail with the page's address (remember, it's gotta abide by the honor code or I'll have to report you...) Sites that represent non-European francophonie would be really appreciated. Thanks!
