People think we dislike the French. We truly don't. At least most people I know love you, your food, your wine. We aspire to try to speak your language and cook your food. I know people give us crap about our food but it's really not that bad even though I do say so myself.

I personally love France, Brittany, Lyon, Niece are great places to visit. I eat lots and lots of French foods yummy.
