I've never had the pleasure of visiting France though I was once assured I would love it, and once I bothered to learn the language, would fit right in. How true that was, given the nature of the person attempting to convince me, I do not know. She was a French woman through and through. I loved her in spite of that. Through work, I met a great many French people. They had a tendency to not bathe enough and wear too much heavy cologne. They also stank of cigarettes. The were arrogant assholes and once we got past the shuffling of assholishness, we got along fabulously. G.D. pretty much detested the whole lot. I kind of feel bad for the French. Spain has surpassed them with fine cooking and they have also lost their edge in the wine industry. Spain Portugal, Peru, Chili, and Argentina are all producing much finer wines. Even a few U.S. vineyards can do better now.
