‘56 percent associating it primarily with the word “Paris”, 37 percent coming up with “Eiffel Tower”, 32 percent going for “Wine” and a further 27 percent plumping for “Baguette”.’

I don’t know any of this is “romantic”. Oh well. Maybe wine.

Funny this is probably along the “disputed” Alsace-Loraine region, which is Bavarian and such Germans are good at partying. Northern Germans are more of the dour stereotype. Southern Germans are more open and fun. (All are hard workers and genius.) I have all of it in my blood.

Funny how north-south fits here in this country too - and the Germans who came here tended to go from their respective regions to the similar regions here. We’re more Bavarian in the south.

Not strictly true.The people of Cologne are generally more fun-loving than the Bavarians. Some even refer to Cologne as the most northern Italian city. The weather, however, is anything but Italian.
