I'm sure East Mids on here will cover a good chunk of France...it seems to cover about 80% of England  
Just kidding OP, France is a lovely country that I've had the pleasure of visiting many times. I hope you enjoy living there. |

I’ve worked in France a lot with various bands (I’m a SFX tech) and France has got a special place in my heart! I love it!!
The people, food and the history I love it all.
I hope to retire there when the time comes. |

I'm sure we didn't go to the same France. The People are obnoxious! The place is beautiful but the people let it down |

That’s such a shame, maybe my experiences might have been different as I was working along side French people on a day to day basis. I really got along with them. |

ORADOUR where in France r you
Say hi  "
A beautiful country, OP, and wonderful people was my experience when I lived there for a bit - most recent experience was a contract in 2019 just before pandemic.
Of course you will find idiots in any corner of the universe, but by and large, the French people I met, worked and socialised with, were decent human beings, with a high standard regarding politeness and respect for others.
I envy you a little  |

Meant to add this: If you are able to speak French or at least try to learn some, it helps enormously in most countries. I did find they warmed to me quickly when I spoke French, including mistakes which they corrected me on (a great thing to do!)  |

Been to France many times. Lovely people.
My friend’s wife is French and her family ridiculously nice. Not just them though - had many acts of kindness and great friendship from loads of French people. |

Yep imho you definitely didn’t go to the same parts as we have been to and lived but that’s why opinions matter because they are mostly personal.

Every time I watch Escape to the Chateau I get a yearning to go there. The only place in France that I’ve been to is the Tesco not far from the Port. I think I need to remedy that at some point.

It was a quick stop off - we didn’t have much time and it seemed to be the easiest and quickest place to go to. Plus the booze was cheap as chips. |
