Yes- a technical point- the mondern French trace their royal lines from the Franks predominantly- who were a Germanic tribe. The Modern French are a blend of Celt and German tribes.

Then why do they have a chicken as their national emblem,
velocopide racing as their national sport and soap as their national aversion?
The germanic tribes developed none of these traits. Me thinks we need a DNA test.

"The Modern French are a blend of Celt and German tribes."
Also, the French are partly descended from Roman Latin settlers, too.
