Does any one know how old France is?

French Flag

Or which even is the oldest country in the world. I was informally informed that Egypt is over 7000 years old. America is only 232. You can double check me on all of this by googling or see my taste in thoughts take a peek at my profile.

For now an article on La Bastille or Bastille Day, is this the same as holiday the French call La Quatorze? Again google it
