There are also collectivites d'outre-mer which have more autonomy and can pass their own laws, although certain areas such as defence are decided by Paris. From this point of view: thanks, Germany! From 1870 they became "our" archenemy (previously they were largely ignored). They took the place of the English, our old rivals for centuries. French know how to dress: Brits have to be sensible.' True. Although some of the best tailors in the world are in London.
Right now France is slowly becoming smaller and smaller compared to Germany economically. But compared to Britain, they are more even. French foreign legion is pretty damn cool: Gurkha's not so much.' Considering the French success rate in wars, and the fact that the legion is made up of FOREIGNERS that is not a well sustained comment. Give me any British regiment any day. French decyphered the Rosseta Stone: Brits couldn't'. Where is that stone now? Ooo; let me think... French Southern Territories - these islands in the Antarctic function primarily as a research station and do not have any permanent residents. They are on GMT +5
Do I like the French? I don't really know them that well. They're quite a closed people, but then my French is not particlarly good. I admire the fact they cling to their way of life and it's a very attractive one, but can see that this is all one day going to come crashing economically down around them.
When I was living in London, England I saw shops with the name Sacha Distel on it. English ladies liked him.This tension is evident even in the critically acclaimed comedy Dix pour cent (Call My Agent!). The first episode of the opening season sets the tone: cultural icon Cécile de France is offered a major Hollywood role – on condition that she "update" her aging appearance. The episode hinges on whether the actress will physically morph herself into an American image of beauty, or stay with the supposedly French notion of "natural" beauty. This conundrum is presented in a witty, playful way, and while it is not the primary focus of the show, it is never far from the surface, nor from the national psyche.
France's overseas territories are very scattered, taking in the Caribbean, South America, the Indian Ocean, the Pacific and the Antarctic. What gets me about my own people the French is that the people they criticize the most are the people who helped them the most like Americans, Australians, Canadians, English and New Zealanders. Who can afford to bite the hand that feeds them? When President Françoise Holland signed the bill into law on 18 May 2013, France became the ninth country in Europe and 14th in the world to legalize same-sex marriage. Although polls at the time showed that around 50% of French people supported it, not everyone was happy about it. In fact, thousands of people defending the so-called ‘family values’ took to the streets in protest. Crowds at the 2013 Paris Pride Parade, just weeks after France legalized same-sex marriage 13. France has more Nobel Prize winners in Literature than any other countryA beautiful house on the edge of a thriving village. Many rooms and the garden have a view of a chateau and there is a large parking space nearby. The house has many possible uses after some renovating: family home; gîte; bed and breakfast; holiday home; separate apartments… On my only visit to Paris, I found most locals were pleasant, but some ignored me despite my attempts at speaking French. On 1 July 1903, 60 cyclists embarked on the first-ever Tour de France from the Parisian suburb of Montgeron.More than 100 years later, the event has grown to become the world’s greatest cycle race, with around 198 cyclists racing some 3,200 km; primarily around France in a series of stages over 23 days. The 2013Tour de Francewas the100thedition of theTour de France and around 15 million spectators lined up to watch the 21-stage course for the centennial celebration. 29. The tradition of wearing a white dress originated in France in 1499 There have been some wonderful exceptions but most people here hate me simply because I'm English and do their best to refuse to understand my French with painful expressions.» Britain has Europe’s worst-insulated homes, losing 3 °C after five hours according to home climate management company tado, which surveyed 80,000 homes in 11 European countries. Norway and Germany have the best insulated homes.
Two sinister underlying obsessions link this contemporary discourse to the earlier reactionary and nationalist French essayists. The first is a belief in an immutable “eternal France”. Maurras, who was a leading figure in Action Française, a political movement that was founded in 1899 to defend “true France”, termed this le pays réel (the real country): a land of church spires, ancestral soil and family tradition. It was to be distinguished, in his view, from le pays légal (the legal country), or the artificial structures of the anticlerical republican administration. Old enemies and new English is full of French words. I once read in a book called "The influence of France in the English Educational System" that English was like a museum of Antiquity for the French language. Netflix's French-language output has improved rapidly, and The Eddy offers a guide in how to blend the best of French and American influences. With bilingual dialogue and jazz as its primary medium, the series offers a counterpoint to the sterile depictions of Paris. Set in Belleville, birthplace of Edith Piaf, this show captures the texture of a lived city, beyond the mere cliché of "grittiness" – its creativity, sensuality, and fragility.
Alot of people hate the Brits for their empire: The French couldn't get a very good empire so not many hate them'. fair play - but the British Empire was the most liberal ever seen. Most brides dream of walking down the aisle in a beautiful white wedding gown. But until the nineteen-hundreds, they rarely bought a special wedding dress and opted for their best outfitinstead. The popular tradition actually originated in France with the marriage of Anne of Brittany and LouisXIIof France in 1499. She wore a white dress to the wedding, marking the start of the popular Western custom. However, it wasn’t until 1840, when Queen Victoria married Prince Albert, that the white dress really took off in popularity and the tradition was cemented. 30. At least 35% of all music played on private radio stations must be French
