    I loved France and the people when I visited Paris and surrounding areas. The country was beautiful and the people were friendly and helpful, contrary to what I've always heard.

    I very much like France and the French. The country is beautiful and the people that I met there were very friendly and welcoming.

    Further, Americans who know their own history know that we would never have won the Revolutionary War without the French. They were our biggest allies, keeping the Brits off our shores and supplying us with guns, ammo, money, and troops.

    I love France, Paris is beautiful. I'm learning to speak (not very well) French in school. The French people I've met have always been lovely. And croissants are pretty damn good too.

    I love France! It's my dream destination, that's why I'm studying French on my own.

    French people? Hmmm, I think they're cool because they can speak French ;)

    I loved travelling in France, and the French people were as nice as any other people. The stereotypes that go around about them are not, IMO, true. They are proud, but then, they have a lot to be proud of.

    The only thing I got to go by as far as France and its people is the news and movies and those two things aren't reliable at all.

    France is wonderful. The arts and architecture, the culture, the cuisine, the language, are all simply marvelous. As for the people, as long as you don't act like the stereotyped "ugly American," fat, stupid, loud, and ignorant, the French will generally treat you well. If you treat them as equals, if you've done your homework and learned some French, and you don't expect them to suck up to you, you will find them to be warm and friendly.

    I love France. The country and the cities, small and large alike, are beautiful. . .as are the people and their accents. Going to school in Europe allows me a lot of free weekends to travel around, and I almost always choose the South of France.

    Do you know why the French planted trees along the roads in Paris? So the Germans could park their tanks in the shade.

    Another proud moment in French History.

    I'm French,
    i don't speak very good english but i like to learn this langage.

    There's listen to the Marseillaise to understand the suffering of my grandparents,
    both my grandfathers were summers prisoners during the Second World War and my great grand fathers were two summers soldiers during the First World War, France is a country that has not experienced long periods of peace, but the French workers and rebuilt their country thanks to the expertise and culture.
    Today, the French are proud of their history and which probably explains our arrogance, as foreigners often think ...
    I am proud to be in a country that has an integrated real health care system, a powerful army and interesting infrastructure, education is not expensive unlike our friends across the Channel and the people are not as poor as English and some left in the shit, but I think it is less rich than rich French English apart from the billionaires I think ...
    You should also know that France is hosting the equivalent of its population in tourists every year!
    I am proud to be French, and even more proud to live in a country as beautiful! Now it is time to think about Europe and not just in my small country eventually as compared to the world ...

    Please read this beautiful song and go listen to it on YouTube this time in French!

    You will always be welcome in France, I hope more Americans will open their minds to my country and its history!

    Arise children of the fatherland
    The day of glory has arrived
    Against us tyranny's
    Bloody standard is raised
    Listen to the sound in the fields
    The howling of these fearsome soldiers
    They are coming into our midst
    To cut the throats of your sons and consorts

    To arms citizens Form your battalions
    March, march
    Let impure blood
    Water our furrows

    What do they want this horde of slaves
    Of traitors and conspiratorial kings?
    For whom these vile chains
    These long-prepared irons?
    Frenchmen, for us, ah! What outrage
    What methods must be taken?
    It is us they dare plan
    To return to the old slavery!

    What! These foreign cohorts!
    They would make laws in our courts!
    What! These mercenary phalanxes
    Would cut down our warrior sons
    Good Lord! By chained hands
    Our brow would yield under the yoke
    The vile despots would have themselves be
    The masters of destiny

    Tremble, tyrants and traitors
    The shame of all good men
    Tremble! Your parricidal schemes
    Will receive their just reward
    Against you we are all soldiers
    If they fall, our young heros
    France will bear new ones
    Ready to join the fight against you

    Frenchmen, as magnanimous warriors
    Bear or hold back your blows
    Spare these sad victims
    That they regret taking up arms against us
    But not these bloody despots
    These accomplices of Bouillé
    All these tigers who pitilessly
    Ripped out their mothers' wombs

    We too shall enlist
    When our elders' time has come
    To add to the list of deeds
    Inscribed upon their tombs
    We are much less jealous of surviving them
    Than of sharing their coffins
    We shall have the sublime pride
    Of avenging or joining them

    Drive on sacred patriotism
    Support our avenging arms
    Liberty, cherished liberty
    Join the struggle with your defenders
    Under our flags, let victory
    Hurry to your manly tone
    So that in death your enemies
    See your triumph and our glory!

    Yeah...interesting to see stereotypes people have on us the "Frogs."

    Some stereotypes are true...good ones (we DO have excellent wines and cheese) and bad ones (we DO be more ironic than elsewhere and mock people in their back...)

    Some other stereotypes are not true at all and VERY vexing...Stop it with this story of French being cowards and wimps, just because of World War II...It is spitting in the face of all the Resistants that fought bravely and continued the fight after we were invaded...the government surrendered, not the PEOPLE...

    Anyway, the France and French people are becoming less and less France and we are less and less French, being slowly replaced by African origined people and African culture. You can be OK with that or think it is sad...I just say things like they are, it is just the way it is...

    I love French and I can't wait to finally go to France one day. Crusty baguettes and cheese, cheese and more cheese.....WHOOT!

    I have no problems with the French and I would expect THEM to expect ME to speak their language when I go visit, which I do study. Nothing wrong with expanding ones language knowledge.

    They call us as they see us...sorry but it's a mantle all Americans must bear because of the other douchey Americans that go there and act like a bunch of rubes.
