A country in Western Europe that remains a world leader, despite what some think.
Much maligned by other cultures, especially the American and British people: in the latter case, for a historical rivalry over French territory that remained until the sixteenth century, while in the former, for French DOS (denial of support) in the War on Terror. Americans often miss the fact that French troops are right now in Afghanistan, which - last I checked - was part of the War on Terror.
Americans also tend to forget, aside from the Statue of Liberty and ninety percent of the gunpowder and ammunition used in the American Revolution, not to mention that the British first surrendered to Rochambeau and not to Washington, that without the French Paul Revere wouldn't have existed (French father), nor would there actually be an United States beyond the Mississippi River. Nor, in fact, would there exist the tactics utilized during the Civil War (written by a French general).
Americans who lambast France have not yet quite realized that, unlike America, France has been invaded several times over the course of its history, and yet has maintained most of its culture intact. French soldiers were the first to charge into the German trenches in World War I, and without their bravery there wouldn't have been the stalemate that lost the war for Germany. In fact, the top Allied fighter ace for that war, for you Eddie Rickenbacker fans, was French. In World War II, more French soldiers left Dunkirk and Ostend than British Empire soldiers, and it was largely thanks to the French Resistance that D-Day was prepared. Plus, more French soldiers went ashore that day anyway.
Americans have made their contribution to world history. With that secure, some of you need to stop bringing down your oh-so-righteous wrath on cultures who also have done their part.
Leaders of France: Clovis, Charles Martel, Charlemagne, Philip II, Louis IX, Saint Joan of Arc, Louis XIV, Marquis de Lafayette, Napoleon Bonaparte, Dumouriez, Henri Philippe PΓ©tain (although rightly disgraced), Maxime Weygand, Charles de Gaulle.

US Generals commanding the NATO forces in Afghanistan have said that the French troops under their command are some of the best soldiers they have ever seen.
:
France is an important ally of the US that is helping with the war on terror. They didn't support the war on Iraq because it had nothing to do with the war on terror.

Don't knock until you've tried, all the negative stereotypes about the French are untrue. They're nice, and clean people. Take my mother for an example. My mother is French and she is clean, nice, respectful, and considerate. You can't base a person on their Ethnicity, you know. We are all Human.
Person 1 - I hate France because it's filled with arses!
Me - Hey asshole, you live in a cardboard box. And besides, how would you know? Get a life.

A place that free thinking Americans are told they should move to by narrow minded idiots.
In France they are so badass that they eat frogs and snails, the kind of stuff that Americans have to be double-dog dared to eat.

Often a very horny girl, she is very ecstatic and can be quite cold if you make her mad. Although she is quite nice at heart and can be honest about her emotions, she is very friendly, but also a crazy bitch and is usually up for any task the guys give her! She is very beautiful and lures guys to her with her amazing body.
Guy 1: How was she?
Guy 2: She was a total frances!
