"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.

I actually love visiting France. A beautiful country with a beautiful history and people who are, for the most part, friendly (especially if you talk to them in French first). Unfortunately, it's been downhill starting with the Revolution (nasty little event that was, though perhaps a necessary event handled unnecessarily).

You might find Brittany more your speed. They've got a very strong Celtic heritage there. Pipes, fiddles, reels, and the whole 9 yards. Most religiously observant part of the country, as well.

Sorry, I really can't explain my Francophilia. I despise the nihilism, socialism, amoral (really anti-moral) and anti-American culture that has arisen there. But you can't be a medievalist and not love France. And Paris really is one of the most beautiful cities on earth. With everything to hate about the place, I still love it.

And French accents... hotness.
