the french aren't all buttheads. my wife and i absolutely adored the cities of nancy and lyon. and the southern french country side is gorgeous especially as you travel towards italy and the riviera. the alps there are spectacular.
if one cares to remember it was the french who gave us battle tactics and sent her navy to aid us during our revolution. we'd have been sol without them. the germans, and poles also sent help.
sides that there wines are great. not as good as german mosel wines though.
they are to kill for.
i don't boycott anything french. fact is i don't have a problem with most of the european countries. their really not that far from us and they like to run up and try to pee on the big dog once in awhile. but in their hearts they know who the big dog is, and respect him.
