"La Tunisie est un Etat libre, indépendant et souverain: sa religion est l'Islam, sa langue l'arabe et son régime la république."Article 1 de la Constitution de la République Tunisienne

La Tunisie, ce petit pays nord-africain, si beau par la diversité de sa nature, si riche par ses hommes, est la gentillesse du citoyen se joigne à son hospitalité légendaire! C'est pourquoi la Tunisie s'appelle le pays de l'acceuil chaleureux.
Elle est bordée au nord et à l’est par la mer Méditerranée. Sa frontière ouest s’ouvre sur l’Algérie (965 km) et sa frontière sud-est sur la Libye (459 km). Son nom est dérivé de celui de sa capitale, Tunis, située dans le nord-est du pays.

Près de 40 % de la superficie du territoire est occupée par le désert du Sahara, le reste étant constitué de terres fertiles, berceau de la civilisation carthaginoise qui atteignit son apogée au IIIe siècle av. J.-C., avant de devenir le « grenier à blé » de l’Empire romain.
