I seem to remember reading Ben Franklin getting the French to help finance our war of independence with Britain.
Then there was the French Resistance in WW2.
Then there's French food and gorgeous French women.
I spent some time there and found the people pretty much like everywhere, some great and some not so...
You know what they call a sewer in FranceThere were more collaborators than resistance fighters. They were a token force, along with De Gaulle's contingent and their contributions were blown way out of proportion to what actually took place. The French in North Africa fought against the Allies.
