Read about it here and visit the site to view an abbreviated version of Yann Arthur-Bertrand's social experiment.

I am of Germanic origin but have done some study of the French culture. The center of much ancient spiritual, druidic and celtic ideology and people stem from France. The cathedral of Chartres is built over an ancient druidic healing well. Some of the finest composers such as Marcell Durufle and Dupre as well as incredible keyboard virtuosi such as Marie Clair Alain and Madame Marie Madaline Durufle originated in France. The arts in all forms were inspired by the spirituality of ancient as well as modern France. It is a magical country.

I'm reading a book right now that talks about many philosophers and scientists and they are from France.

What most people miss about France is how people there are so fashionable and so into custom polo shirts . I don't see any group people as passionate.
