Cabal

Being the most hated country in the US for refusing to waste time, lives and money in Irak when Afghanistan was not finished... Which explains the idiots above who have little brain and even less thought process and like to insults French people when they are not sucking their thumb while gazing dumbly at a TV set.

Apart from that... ;D

Nuclear power, we are the most nuclearised country in the world (civil powerplants) and produce 80% of our electricity with nuclear power.

Why not water. Perrier for example.

As said above, TGV, high speed trains we have been enjoying since 1981, going at 300 kmph through France.

Concorde, the plane, which we built with our 'enemy brother' the UK.

The only independant nuclear power (military) in Europe as we built our own nukes. UK is using US ones.

The creator of the European Union with Germany.

Wine, of course.

Vaccin. Pasteur was French.

The chip on the credit and debit cards. We've been using it for around twenty years.

The most visited country in the world (I think we still hold the title)

The declaration of the human right, written by the French , the invention of the cinema, or the car by the French. The revolution of 1789 who changed many thing in europe,
Teh statue of Liberty offered by the French to the AmÃ©rican, Napoleon and the fact that today most country drive on this side of the road. The fight for the independance in the USA with Lafayette...so many thing really.

Surrendering to anything that represents danger to them. throughout history they have proven this to be true. the only reason the french revolution was bloody is because the french were fighting french, the french are the complete opposite of dangerous so their danger senses were blinded.
