What about the food? I've always liked boeuf bourgignon, or something like that.

Edit: it's bourguignon.

J'aime la belle France,

The Mont St Michel & Avranches,

The West Coast from Brittany to the Spanish Border

The forests, from Compiegne to Les Landes

The gardens of Giverney, home of Claude Monet and the waterlilies

Sunsets

Cheese

Cider & Calvados

Crepes especially Crepes Suzettes

Wine, Gevrey Chambertin, Montbazillac & Champagne

Paris-Roubaix.

The Pyrenees

I could fill pages of great things

(Life is not so one sided we need the other side of the coin as well so I'm posting the opposite thread.)

Mayb because without them the U.S. would'nt have been able to stand up to & repel the British in the revolutionary war. On the lighter side hearing an attractive woman speak french drives me nuts
