52 French Innovations

Power parents Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have divulged that they will spend their holidays in France. It's no wonder the globetrotting couple picked France as their spot to rejuvenate with their ever-growing family; France is known for its fashion, haute cuisine, rich cultural history, and picturesque vistas.

We've assembled a collection of French innovations that showcase the talent within this European country. Many of the designers featured below hail from France, but some are foreigners that were merely inspired by its culture.

It's no wonder Angelina Jolie picked France as a place to bring her family for the holidays. There are a number of eco-friendly public installations that will appeal to Angelina Jolie's environmental side, like the cardboard bridge that spans the Gordon River.
