France is a country that fought side by side with Americans on American soil during the American war of independence. Also, the counrty that built and gave as a gift the greatest symbol of America, the Statue of Liberty.

A country where people work 35 hour weeks and have two months paid leave a year. Is the world's 4th largest economy. Is a country with strong cultural and traditional values. Is a county with arguably the best food and drink in the world. Provence A country with second-to-none public systems - TGV (train), education, healthcare. A country that smokes and drinks more wine than Britain and America and has a fraction of the heart disease and obesity rate. A country full of charming, well-dressed people who do respond well when not approached by tactless English-speaking philistines. A country full of beautiful architecture and art.

At least visit the place!

Don't knock it until you've tried it. I have been there two times, and my brother now has lived there for over a year. All the negative stereotypes are untrue, the people there are clean and friendly. And the positive stereotypes are true, they have a great culture, wine, food, etc. You can't say that France is a bad country unless you have firsthand experience. So to all of you rednecks, please, sell your trailer and visit this beautiful country so you can realize that you're just jealous of the French, you don't hate them.

Redneck- France is full of a bunch of smelly assholes!!! Me- How would you know? You live in a trailer and watch CMT all day... get a life.
