FranceVive La France!Good God, just when I think my nascent
Francophilia is running out of steam, the
Frenchies give me new reasons to admire them.
Of course, most of this has to do with
Sarkozy and the way he seems determined to obliterate any
ancien regime passivity that stands between him and modernizing French polity. But in his wake come all the
charming things about France that I was reluctant to admire during the
Chirac years: French style, design, and a more humane approach to daily life.
And by all that I mean French women.
First there was
Segolene, an insufferable
anarco-syndicalist lunatic in real life, no doubt, but an elegant and enormously attractive woman able to
conjugate many hard to pronounce French verbs. (although not so well that she could do without subtitles)
