WHY?

Before the revolution

Nb: Germanic

After the revolution

We like friends And having a laugh

We like eating and drinking

We are undisciplined (and scrapper)

We are courageous

We are always complaining

But French are not nationalist

NB: • We don’t display our nationality (no flag, clothes, pendant… cf. WWII)

…except for sport events (cocorico!)• Big mix of origins: many French have foreigner origins (due to the colonies) and will

stick to these origins (flag, clothes pendants..).
