LOL! That's funny. But, in reality the U.S. boycott of all things French has driven wine prices, much, much lower in France.

Left unseen is that the tourists that still visit France (car fires, anyone?!) spend less money there. Tourists from Eastern Europe and Turkey just don't have the disposable income of American travelers, en masse.

And they deserve everything they're getting! I know my "trip to France" was put on hold because of their extreme stupidity and it stays on hold because of the Paris riots!

I even found a New York supplier for my Brie, available at Trader Joe's, and it's very good!

Ta-ta France! Enjoy your problems!

"Left unseen is that the tourists that still visit France"

Why anyone would want to visit such a vile, pathetic country is beyond me, especially when there are so many other countries and places to visit. I guess the lefties like to go there. They think it makes them look sophisticated when they come back and tell everyone they went to Francistan.

I had a cousin who did some traveling in Europe a few years ago. He said that France was the worst country in Europe and that the people were stuck-up idiots. I could only laugh! France is so finished as a nation.
