French people must be proud of its past grandeur and glory, which boasts the architecture of almost all well known old buildings like Versailles, Chartres, and the Loire Chateaux. Also the confidence of their culture which gave a lot of isms that made the world more colorful, like Impressionism, Fauvism, Existentialism, Structuralism, to name just a few of them. Not to mention their famous philosophers with their thoughts like Descartes, J J Rousseau, de Tocqueville and lot more. Still, we can't just talk about France without its cuisine and champagne and wine.

Nobody in this world would forget the inspiring and the influence of the French Revolution in 1789, until to date.
The Loire Valley could be proud of its French renaissance architecture, while Corsica, the birthplace of Napoleon Bonaparte 1769 - 1821, seemed more Italian than French.
Despite of its sense of cultural superiority, where sometimes they don't easily welcome those whose values and behavior differ from them, nonetheless, we still could enjoy so many things which is uncomparable with that minor uncomfortableness.

Visit the southern of France , like Marseille and take the TGV or Train a Grande Vitesse, the hightech bullet train that will bring you just a couple hours. Please, also remember that almost all stores in France close on Monday, and everything in the country closes for lunch and siesta from noon to about 2 - 3 pm , while many museums , by contrast , close on Tuesdays.
Don't forget to visit and taste as well 'champagne' in the fertile region north east of Paris, it's a real champagne.
