La sur sa bouche a demy close,
Je beuvais, baisant nuict et jour,
A la sante de nostre amour
Dedans une couppe de rose:
Ma Bergere en toute saison,
Ardente a me faire raison,
S'enyvroit de la mesme sorte:
Et dans ce doux exces nos sens quasi perclus,
Sous une contenance morte,
Confessoient par nos yeux que nous n'en pouvions plus.

France is a great place to spend your holidays at, this summer I´ll go there again with my sisters...

Honestly, without the French language something would be missing. Also the Russkies/Chinese wouldn´t share the river of love if there was no French (Amur-amour)

European policies would be so boring if it wasn´t for the neverending friction between France and England.

Belgium would be Europe´s most teased country () and South Africa wouldn´t be amongst the world´s best wine producers (Huguenots in Cape province ).

Canada would probably be a puppet of the US instead of the great country it is today

Louis de Funès wouldn´t have made his famous and great comedies, which would have rendered my last year´s visit to St.Tropez pointless...

Gérard Depardieu

some who will probably be overlooked

Rashi - medieval commentator on the bible and Talmud - perhaps most influential such in Jewish history. Also kept a vineyard.


Marc Chagall - mystical artist.

I could make a VERY impressive list of contributions just focusing on French Jews, you realize.

Hmm...the French language is perhaps the best sounding language I've ever heard. Spiffor, for the gone but never forgotten lego avatar. The beautiful palaces of the French kings. The Statue of Liberty, the Eiffel tower, Impressionism, great films, the list goes on and on...maybe it's not the most powerful country, but culturally speaking it's the true world power.
