Sometimes, it’s just better in France…..
Ok, look, we all mock the French for their funny language and strange dining habits, and its ok to do so. Really. They probably just don’t know any better. But the truth is, they do have wonderful wine, and excellent cheese and a strange sort of charm that makes us tolerate them and even want to visit on occasion. The Germans like to do so every 30 or 40 years when their own supply of red wine and runny cheese runs out. They usually visit with tanks.
France is also known for its comfortable attitude towards the human body as is evidenced by the photo below. You can tell who the visitors are. They’re probably from Germany. The woman probably misses her tank.
It’s true. In fact there is an entire city, Cap d’Agdes on the south coast, where everybody runs around like the naked one on the left.
Now I’m not saying it’s for everybody. And thank god for that. (refer back to ‘tank lady’ above) I’m not even saying it’s for me. But what I like, is that at least it’s an option. Not like so many places in North America where everybody enjoys freedom. You’re free to own and in many places carry a gun. But try to get some sun on your ass and they arrest you. Now maybe I’m just crazy, but something seems wrong with that.
