La politesse.

Well, we all know that the French are meant to be rude, oui? This, from experience so far, just isn't true. Sure, they're a bit up themselves, and sure, they give us funny looks when we're being English, but, they all manage to force a "bonjour" "merci" "au revoir" or "bonne journée" when serving us in cafés or shops.

Not only this, but cars stop to let you cross the road. Actually amazing.

Remember being taught that France is a rude country? Well, Sinead and myself have established that this is just a typo. It's really Drance and Grance that are the rude countries. France is quite politely annoyed about the whole situation, and soon enough Drance and France will have a war. Grance will try to look in, but get pushed out of the way, as their views don't count. Poor Grance.
