abstract: From pick-up games in the park or neighborhood to the fervor that accompanies the FIFA World Cup tournaments, sports are a significant part of modern life. However, sports are not immediately associated with France, despite the country's excellent record of performance in international competitions, not to mention hosting the premier international cycling event and one of four Grand Slam tennis tournaments. I present an intermediate-advanced college-level culture class I created and taught, using sports as a cultural and historical lens into French society and giving students an opportunity to communicate in French about the global phenomenon that is sports. Abstract: Des matchs informels dans les parcs ou dans les quartiers, à la ferveur qui accompagne la Coupe du Monde de la FIFA, le sport est important dans la vie moderne. Néanmoins, on n'associe pas toujours le sport avec la France, en dépit d'excellentes performances françaises dans les compétitions internationales, et qu'elle est l'hôte du Tour de France et du tournoi de Roland-Garros. Je présente un cours universitaire de culture française, niveau intermédiaire/avancé, que j'ai créé et enseigné. Ce cours emploie le sport comme angle culturel et historique de la société française et donne aux étudiants l'occasion de s'exprimer en français au sujet de ce phénomène global.
