This summer’s World Cup tournament allowed fans from around the world to show off their national pride. Who can forget the Scots in their kilts, or the Norwegians with their endless rowing? Personally, I was partial to the glorious orange outfits of the Dutch fans (if you wonder why, check out my last name.)

But did you know that the tradition of the Dutch wearing orange can be traced back to France? It’s an interesting tale that you can read about in My French Life!
