This is our very first Country Spotlight chosen at random. The purpose of each spotlight is to bring attention to the building of a team to represent a specific country, in this case, France. Like many nations, France is well represented in the Kansas City area. There are over 1,900 French-born residents in Missouri and Kansas with obviously many more with French ancestry.
There are many French businesses within the KC metro area as well such as le Fou Frog restaurant which serves high end French cuisine. In fact, there is even an Alliance Française de Kansas City whose sole purpose is promoting French culture in Kansas City since March of 1963.
"So ask the travelled inhabitant of any nation, ‘In what country on earth would you rather live?’ Certainly in my own, where are all my friends, my relations, and the earliest and sweetest affections and recollections of my life. Which would be your second choice? France." - Thomas Jefferson
So whether you are directly from France, your parents were French or generations ago your family came from The Republic, a spot on team France in the local KC men's recreational World Cup tournament is awaiting you. Simply click here and fill out the sign up form.
