I love France but some of the officials can be less than charming....


I would have been tempted to remind him that if it wasn't for us all French citizens would have been driving German cars for years..... I hate that sort of thing, never had a problem in a car but seen lots of issues when on a bike in France, never from small towns and villages where everyone was wonderful but in major cities, Paris in particular, they are a total nightmare.

Different issue BUT!

When I was researching shipping My Morgan from Tacoma, Wa. I wanted it to go to France. Forget it said the Shipper. You are going to Southampton and take the ferry to France. The French are too difficult to deal with. This I did. BTW: The French were a delight. Not sure about Government Officials. But had no problems at all on this trip with the People.
