• Answer:

  Interesting last sentence, where did you find that? Anyway. Yes, France has traditional music, but as France is not a monolithic country every region has its own traditional music. There's a huge difference between the Breton gwerzioù and the Provencal Farandole. So you don't have one single traditional music, you have 20 or thirty. As we also have a very strong centralised state the regional identity was deliberately suppressed during the last 120 years so it is only in the last 20 years that it started to resurfaced and to be heard. We are more known for French classical music and operas than for regional dances and music. France 'logo' is easy to find, is it the Gallic rooster. And by the way, Portugal's is not a chicken but a rooster too. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gallic_rooster As for traditional costumes, it is the same as with the music, every region has its own. But if you want the caricatural French costume it is stripe shirt, beret, and sometimes a scarf.
