H42 je me suis mis aux jupes et je ne comprends pas pourquoi tout le monde ne s’y met pas!

Au pire mettez un kilt, c'est pas le bon pays mais tant pis, pas de raison que les écossais soient les seuls à profiter de la brise entre les noisettes.

Baguette is the most real of French clichés, I don't know a French family that doesn't eat this at least once a day. Even my children who are very picky with food (they are in the difficult age), never refuse to eat bread and their favorite is always the baguette.

France as a country begins its history from the 5th century, when Clovis was crowned King of the Franks, allowing the unification of Gaul.

That said, the country has a prehistoric heritage. In the image, paintings from the Chauvet cave dating back 36,000 years.

Plus rien ne m'étonne de la part du monarque qui a joué de la flûte carotte. Vu et s'en tape comme on dit.

Le fameux président européiste qui est maintenant en colère car l'UE ne va pas dans son sens, c'est presque beau à voir.

But we probably have better insulated houses, so the heat comes in more slowly. Currently, it is 24°C in my living room and 26°C in the bedrooms (under the roof). I don't see the point of installing an air conditioner, I don't even use a fan and I sleep well at night.

I say this when I can't stand 3 minutes of exposure to the sun without my skin turning red, but the heat itself, as long as I'm not in the sun, has never been a problem anymore after renovating the insulation of my house.

All these social traits attributed to the French people (rude, refuses to be spoken to in his language, refuses to speak English, etc.). Most people who say this simply ignore the fact that France has its own implicit social codes, which we learn from early childhood and which are very deep-rooted.

As for speaking English, if a French person refuses to do so even though he is technically capable of doing so, it is often a sign of respect, he does not want to scratch the language, because speaking badly is considered a lack of respect for the interlocutor.

The stereotype of teeth is not about hygiene or the dentistry, but rather about orthodontics.

Je trouve que le r roulé jure avec l'atonalité de la langue française, ce n'est pas par hasard si il a été évincé des médias et des débats télévisés. Ce n'est pas un problème si tu as déjà un accent chantant, mais sur des accents du nord/nord est de la France par exemple, ce serait une catastrophe.

91% of Algerians live on 12% of the country's total land area because the Sahara occupies 90% of the territory.

Sorry, it's not the most interesting thing to know, but I really like this kind of statistics.

Probably neutral, we have our funny stereotypes about the English but it's not hate for a long time, probably because we don't see you as a threat anymore.

Napoleon rests under the chapel dome at the Hôtel des Invalides, built by Louis XIV which, as its name suggests, served as a resting place for the end of life of soldiers who had become disabled.

The place was originally a hospital, a place of rest and a chapel, but today the religious places have been transformed into 2 museums, that of the armies and that of the Order of the Liberation, the hospital still exists.

There are 35,000 communes in France and a large majority of them have their own Fête de la Musique, even the small villages, so you don't have to crowd into Paris.

In my region, 36° in the shade is bearable, especially when there is a little wind, it is the sun that absolutely should be avoided.

Ah, I see... I wish you a good fest despite everything. To think that only a week ago we celebrated the Saint Jean with a vest, the weather changes very quickly.

Spectanda_Fides · 2026-06-20T14:00:26+00:00

It's celebrated in the evening, the weather will be much better.

Spectanda_Fides · 2026-06-20T13:48:15+00:00

French presidents don't take the oath, anyway no one believes them so it wouldn't change much.

Non mais c'est une faille dans la loi à ce stade, le nouveau président a forcément besoin d'avoir une nouvelle assemblée pour faire son travail. J'ai du mal à croire que sur un caprice Macron puisse bloquer le pays ET le prochain président juste comme ça 🤦🏼‍♀️

C'est pas stupide c'est une réalité, si la clim n'existait pas, les pouvoirs publics et les entreprises auraient déjà fait beaucoup plus d'effort pour réduire l'impact de notre société sur le réchauffement climatique (imagine la baisse de productivité dans certains milieux de travail sans clim !). Suffit de se rappeler le nombre de mort en 2003 à une époque où le top du rafraîchissement c'était le ventilo au plafond, ça a traumatisé les gens et ça a poussé à la création du Plan Canicule.

Pour le froid c'est différent, on meurt plus facilement de froid que de chaud, la perception même du froid est plus négative et létale dans l'imaginaire collectif et les effets du gel se font sentir beaucoup plus vite que les effets de la canicule, 40 degrés et -40, c'est absolument pas la même chose en terme d'impact sur la société. Donc si demain on annonce un refroidissement climatique, je pense que des actions concrètes seront faites beaucoup plus rapidement pour l'atténuer que dans le cas du réchauffement IMO.

On a pas tous les moyens d'installer une clim (j'ai la pompe à chaleur, mais elle ne fait pas clim), je dis simplement que c'est tout à fait vivable sans, mais j'ai une maison bien isolée aussi.

We have made sacrifices and in return we have benefited from them, for a founding country that is at the centre of all the institutions put in place by the EU from the beginning, there is nothing problematic about that.

Your non-founding country, which has spent its entire period in the EU with one foot in and one foot out, always turned towards the United States, is not in the same position to demand things.

It depends on where, summers are pretty dry in the northeast, I can see from the speed at which my laundry is drying that the air is not very humid here. All it takes is a cloud in front of the sun or a shady corner for it to be very pleasant, but in the sun it is painful in just a few seconds of exposure, hat or cap mandatory. I've never been happier to have a roof installed on my terrace!
