Everything you always wanted to know about the French* (*but were afraid to ask)

Social-historical-humorous essay on the French people

De: Gaspard Chevallier

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

There is so much to write about the French.

Because they invented cinemas, bicycles, cars, photography, radioactivity, but also the bra, the croque-monsieur, the garbage can, and dentures.
Because the French express themselves in a language qualified as one of the sexiest, albeit with sounds so often considered animalistic: coucou, quoi, oui….
Because in France, we intrinsically like to rebel against everything: system, government, our employer, and we go so far as to go on strike preventively against a law that does not yet exist.
A country where artists transform urinals into works of art, build a glass pyramid in front of a century-old building, or split the sky of their capital with a steel tower.
A country seen as the country of love and where the words “Voulez-vous coucher avec moi ?” are the most pronounced by foreigners.
I’ll take you on a virtual excursion to France in order to verify the veracity of its many clichés and stereotypes.
I offer you a global reflection on the French lifestyle, which is so singular, atypical, and surprising.
I will transport you into the heart of an expatriated Gallic who makes fun of his country as much as he loves it.
Bon voyage to France!
