The French are very individualistic.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
French are what they are without excusing themselves to be.
The French have got taste.
They're very nationalistic the French - or they used to be. Very insular. Pretty arrogant.
You know how arrogant the French are - extraordinary.
There is a certain dignity to being French.
The French consider themselves the guardians of the world's culture and do not bother to hide the fact, which is annoying, but Paris is still where good Americans want to go when they die - and Brits, Russians, and Chinese as well, these days.
The French, I think, in general, are strangely prolix in their natural history.
The French complain of everything, and always.
It's true that French are not very sophisticated in the sense that they don't dress up for dinners. They are not like Americans, where they are always perfect - the girls are not very sporty; they don't take care of themselves as much as Americans, who always have very white teeth and are so fit.
They were nothing like the French people I had imagined. If anything, they were too kind, too generous and too knowledgable in the fields of plumbing and electricity.
