France is a fantastic country to explore. I’m fortunate my better half is French and I truly enjoy every moment I’m over there unless the trains are on strike or some yellow vests are on heat.
What I truly enjoy about France is their love of food and wine. It’s so ingrained in their culture. They are not snobs per sa, more like enthusiasts. They care who makes what and how it’s served. Above all, they take their time to enjoy the consumption process. You will go back.

You have to admit, it is sad a man flies 9 hours + to Europe and cannot put aside his politics, like it rules his life.
I was in Ireland last year, politics never crossed my mind.
Heading to Greece in a few months, can safely say politics will be the furthest thing from my mind.
Sad that someone would let it consume their lives.
Here is my embarrassed of Americans story.
Every year we spend a week in our timeshare in Atlantis. We have owned it for 15 years. We know the drill in Nassau, you are on island time, nothing and I mean nothing happens fast.
We (my wife and I) took the Condo shuttle to the local grocery store. While there we visited the deli counter for some cold cuts.
When we arrived there was a lady ( using term lightly) from New Yawk ordering and berating the girls working, she was annoyed by how slow they were working and telling them they would never survive in New Yawk.
I was honestly mortified. When it was my turn and the wench was gone I apologized and told her that was a NY thing us southerners are more laid back.
Saun your negative experiences concerning crappy Americans is indicative to mine. I have found Yankees (New Yawkers in particular) to be the rudest of them all.
I was recently in NY I was walking into a deli in Chelsea, I held open the door for a lady coming up behind me, she was flustered, she felt I should go ahead of her in line since I lost my place holding the door for her.
I insisted she went first.
What a sad commentary of the mindset of progressive New Yawkers. Refusing to hold a door for a lady in order to get 1 place better in line.
