Rich and melodic, the French language has long been deemed 'the language of love', and for good reason!
The smooth sound of French words rolling off the tongue, the poetic and elegant phrases in French literature, and the romantic connotations associated with French culture all contribute to this perception of the language as romantic.
Be inspired below by a selection of French quotes from classic French writers about love and life, and perhaps share a quote or two with the love in your life!
