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?
If you want something damning about the French, you need only two words: San Domingue.
However, because of that, and the expense of trying to take it back from the revolutionaries, Napoleon sold Jefferson the Louisiana Territory, and thus we got New Orleans, a New World treasure house of music, almost equal to Havana.
