Question

Is it possible to find nice things to say about France without the ensuing discussion rapidly evolving into a U!S!A! U!S!A! U!S!A! discussion of health-care systems and such?

No.

Not to mention Roman ruins and some Roman infrastructure like bridges that are still in use!

And Brittany marshes, seas and forests!

Courtly Love romances!

Perfume!

So much wonderful about France, even though my heart is more Iberian than Gallic.

Love, C.

But fortunately, there are those fluid borders where Iberia and Gaul tend to interpenetrate.

The Mediterranean coast continues to contribute to civilization.
