Paris (AFP) - US Secretary of State John Kerry has been given the Legion d'Honneur, France's highest honour, with his French counterpart calling him "the most French of American officials".
At a ceremony in Paris on Saturday, French Foreign Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault also said the top US diplomat was a "tireless champion of peace".
"Francophone, Francophile, you are certainly the most French of American officials" Ayrault said.
Kerry's French heritage and fondness for the country saw him attacked on the presidential campaign trail in 2004, when he was the Democratic candidate running against Republican George W Bush.
Tensions were running high between Paris and Washington over the Iraq war, to the extent that America's beloved junk food, French Fries, were briefly renamed Freedom Fries, Ayrault said.
Kerry's mother and aunt were born in Paris in the early 1920s and America's top diplomat spent holidays as a young man at the family residence in Saint-Brignac-sur-Mer, in Brittany.

That’s some medal. Do they know his history with medals?
Scumbag Kerry should have been given a cold, hard slap across the face!
“Francophone, Francophile, you are certainly the most French of American officials” Ayrault said.
Not sure this is a compliment. But I do know Kerry is a major a-hole so in
His case maybe it is a compliment.
