I hate to be a pessimist, but I always squirm when I hear people declare victory before the war is over.

As usual, the war has been over for a while now Macron.

But, better late than never.

Still kissing several times on both cheeks when greeting friends and family I’ll bet.

A custom I liked very much, when greeting “girls”.

Take care, FRiend. :)

Frenchmen experimenting, taking risks. Wow. They’re emerging from the socialist cocoon, to become what sort of butterfly?
