Who tf thinks Strasbourg is the true European capital? Get this shit out of my face
Also according to me, but also to r/rance r/rance_iel and r/ich_iel Germany would more be “Frien :>”
I’m a bit disappointed that the Western edge of the Bretagne doesn’t have “Asterix country” on it ü
Unexpectedly accurate. I like it.
Smelly explosive cheese > Bombs
I’m Polish and I have spent 4 years in Lorraine and I just wanted to say that the amount of potatoes was just right.
And here was I, thinking I spent marvelous time in Lille getting along on english alone with the locals. Also easily the hottest french ladies I’ve ever seen right there and then. But it turns out they’re the lowest of the low!
Thank you for this informative map. I now know better!
I have so many questions. Left-wing racists? Nice is full of fascists? No one talks about Lyon?
facholand?
I’d choose the “cold & gloomy” part.
I want to live in castles and wine. The name “Toussaint” comes to mind somehow
Not sure “funny and likeable neighbours” still applies for Belgium…
Recently it has become more visible to us that they generally don’t think very highly of us (euphemism).
And whenever football is concerned, they fucking hate us (and not in a “playful rivalry” kind of way)
Chocolatine > Pain au chocolat
fight me
Holiday place. Hmmm yes, something europe seems to have in common.
The “Apparently they speak French?” Part is Val d’Aoste (Aosta Valley, or in Italian Valle d’Aosta). It is the region next to Mont Blanc. Italian and French are both official languages and most people speak French fluently or even as their first language.
Can you eat lots of melons in the “Melons” part?
The “The true European capital” and the “grumpy right-wingers” parts (Strasbourg and more generally Alsace) are my favourite place to go to in France.
Glad someone put the green-commie utopia that Grenoble is on it
More like: Maps of the stereotype of France according to this one dude in his 30s who lived in Lyon most of his life
I live about 150km from the French border in the northeast and recently drove all the way through France to Spain and back a couple of weeks later. The Void no 2 is so, so true.
Always takes me by surprise a bit. Luxembourg/Metz/Nancy is not the busiest part of the world but enough traffic. Then just absolutely nothing. The traffic seems to disappear (I know, they’re all going towards Paris). And then you get to Bourgogne and traffic suddenly is back – exploding towards Lyon itself (I know, Paris/Lyon axis is joining in).
That stretch between roughly Nancy and Dijon is so quiet.
​
Also, “funnier accent”. I 100% love Occitan. I’ve been to the Languedoc tons of times in my youth so I can understand it a bit. But my wife has absolutely no idea what they’re saying as her French is very much the hyper correct language that she learned in school – never visited France until she met me. And that to me is funny as well!
“Arrogant assholes” seem to be the go to description for people living in the capital of any country. I wonder how much of that is based on truth and how much is just prejudice.
Why Grenoble is a communist-green utopia?
You want Castles and Wine, come to Orleans.
What is that lovely city no one talks about? Lyon?
France it is not nice to send old people into the sea to die
Incest, poverty and unemployment? Huh?
I have no idea what green commie utopia is but I want to live there
Weeeed
Whats up with “Where old people go to die”?
Are they yeeting granies into the see lile the Dinos did?
>Stromae is totally French
Funny thing, he just released a new song and the French television were speaking about it and the presentors were saying his name wrong a few time so another Presentor corrected them and they just ignored her
The density of “wine” is a a true sign of civilization. Congratulations.
Looks pretty accurate to me.
Can confirm that the lovely city no one talks about really is lovely!
Amazing. Has anyone seen this type of map for Germany or Greece? I have some family members I need to annoy with this kind of regional breakdown.
“Rain and drunkards”
Sounds like home!
They were no bombs in Cote Basque (Biarritz etc). ETA was largely focused on the Spanish side.
Biarritz and vicinity is a super chilled area, full of surfers and lovely people who enjoy life to the fullest.
Highly recommend a trip there.
Suede <3 France
