In 2011 Kravitz was honored with one of the highest cultural awards in France when he was made an Officer of the [[Ordre des Arts et des Lettres]] by French cultural minister Frederic Mitterrand in Paris. Kravitz stated he was "particularly touched" to receive the award in France as his success in the country pre-dated his success in the United States and still enjoys great record sales in the country today.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-15981419|title=Lenny Kravitz accepts French honour|website=BBC.co.uk|date=December 1, 2011|access-date=December 31, 2011|archive-date=December 10, 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111210004748/http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-15981419|url-status=live}}</ref> Kravitz joined other American recipients such as [[Martin Scorsese]], [[George Clooney]], and Bob Dylan.
