The differences between France and Sweden

School – In Sweden school is free, but in France, the school is free too but the material and food cost money. The schools are also, in general, much bigger than in Sweden. The average school in France takes about 1000 students, and about 140 teachers. In Sweden the schools usually take about 500-600 students and the schools employ far less teachers.
In France you can also have school in Saturday, and that day is usually about an hour. Their usual school-days are between eight o’clock and five-six o’clock.

Society in general – France has a president and Sweden has a prime-minister as well as a king and queen.


House prices: The prices for properties are far higher in France, mainly due to France being a much bigger country.

The weather: In France the weather is much warmer than in Sweden, usually 30-35 degrees in the summer, and around zero in the winter. In the Swedish summers the temperature is about 20-25 degrees, and in our winters the temperature can drop to as far as -35 degrees.


Sport-Football and Rugby are
may be the sport the most important in France whereas in Sweden,it´s floor ball and hockey


Holidays: Easter is different, in France the Easter isn’t a very big occasion, and it’s mainly a commercial event. In Sweden we get “eggs” of candy from our parents, and the little children dress up and knock on doors, begging for candy. We also hang up feathers and “Easter-rice”.
