HopeandGlory said:<G> - Well, they would tell you they have beautiful cities, and some of them are. The wine, some of the cheeses ( although not a patch on British cheeses, IMHO) I think their food is over-rated.
Literature - Voltaire, Moliere, Balzac, Dumas . . .
Art - lots of good french art - depends what you like.
Damn - you're making me sound like an advocate for the French! :happy2:
As for the military history - they haven't much to be proud of since Verdun.
As an Englishwoman - I'm very on your side here!
Remember Agincourt is what I say!
And their philosophers, both political and the more esoteric.
