---------------------------------------
Are they all the same in meaning? Can we substitute 'attending' for 'joining?

Answer 1

They all mean the same, but #2 is badly stated. You can join events or take part in them - you don't need to say both.

[AI-generated answer — Explain Bot]

Yes, in this context, the phrases "joining," "taking part in," and "attending" can be considered synonymous and can be used interchangeably. All three sentences convey the same meaning that you can experience French culture by participating in various events. So, you can substitute "attending" for "joining" without changing the overall meaning of the sentence.
