It's really sad to see how much France has degenerated in just the last ten years - when I was in Normandy in 92, every little village had "Rue General Eisenhower" and/or "Rue General Patton". Everywhere I went, someone would buy me a glass of wine for being an American. The American Cemetery at St. James (IIRC) was so tidy as to make Arlington look shabby. They still remembered who had bailed them out two times running, and were still grateful. I'm afraid the last of that generation are the ones who died of heat stroke last summer, though.

I understand that the people in Normandy are still much more pro-America than the rest of the country.

Those days are over. Here's what you can expect to find in France nowadays:

Cemetery for American and British soldiers who liberated France.
When the Muslims they imported start slitting French throats - which they certainly will - we will just cheer them on this time.
