The French Government announced today that it is imposing a ban on the
use of fireworks at Euro Disney. The decision comes the day after a nightly
fireworks display at the park, located just 30 miles outside of Paris,
caused the soldiers at a nearby French Army garrison to surrender to a
group of Czech tourists

And French people are very friendly, most speak excellent english.
Oh and they don't like the English or Americans, and won't speak english to them unless they are in the tourist industry and have too.

That's odd, all my family members who have travelled in Europe have said that if you attempt to speak the local language the tend to speak in English if they can, or use hand signals etc. Whereas if you walk up and start with English straight off they get upset and just ignore you/apologise and walk off etc. They've only travelled around the France/Italy type area though, except my sister who spent Christmas in Germany with a German she met in France.Spearhead wrote:

let's talk about vatican city!
I'd recommend you go to all of the WWI and WWII battlefields and memorial cemeteries if you're not into point and click tourism. The nazi gun emplacements are still there on certain parts of the beaches of normandy and one WWI battle in Ypres I think shows the exact state of play when the guns fell silent - each dead soldier was buried where he fell.Major_Spittle wrote:

Other possibilities: check out the Cannes Film Festival, the Tour de France, the French tennis open at Roland Garros, gambling in Monte Carlo (not strictly France), skiing in the alps or Pyrenees, visiting vineyards, etc.
I think Bono summed it up best:
U2 spends all of its time in France because the French people are so arrogant they don't notice they are there, that and the fact that they (the French) don't care about anyone but themselves because they feel they are the center of the universe.
