  Embassy of France - The French Institute Alliance Française
France and the United States are each convinced of their universalist message, based on cultural and socio-economic models that they think deserve to be emulated.
Another stereotype in a similar vein consists of portraying France as an old prickly lady, nostalgic for her past glory, puffed up with ridiculous pretensions and forced by the assaults of the wide world to take refuge in the old fashioned, somewhat faded charm of her culture and language.
That France was ill-prepared for the war is a fact, and that led to its terrible defeat in 1940.

 France ill-placed to try genocide suspects: Rwanda : HindustanTimes.com   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
Rwanda on Friday said France was ill-placed to try genocide suspects in French courts owing to its suspected complicity in the tiny central African nation's 1994 mass slaughter.
Early this month, the Tanzania-based ICTR announced that France, along with Belgium and the Netherlands, had accepted to try genocide suspects living in their territories in their local courts as part of plans to ease the workload of the backlogged tribunal.
Although France denies the allegations, a former French soldier last year alleged that French troops had trained the militia responsible for the killings in the two years leading up to the genocide.

The state of emergency in France was finally lifted on Wednesday, despite the occasional flashes of trouble.
It had been in place since the urban riots that erupted two months ago and was introduced on 8 November under a little-used law dating back to 1955.
The state of emergency was brought in to help quell the rioting in France's suburbs, and broadened police powers, enabling the authorities to impose curfews or conduct police searches without warrants.

 The Supreme Council For France
The Supreme Council for France was established in October 1804 by Ill. Comte Alexandre de Grasse—Tilly, 33°, then an active member of the "Supreme Council of the 33d degree for the United States of America" founded in 1801, which exists today as the Supreme Council, 33°, Southern Jurisdiction.

To 1986, the Grand Commanders that succeeded Ill. Charles Riandey at the head of this new regular Supreme Council for France remained faithful to this traditional policy of fruitful cooperation with the North American Jurisdictions.

The author attributes Marie Antoinette's failures to inexperience, the ineptitude of her husbandboth of them pawns in the Franco-Austrian allianceand a flighty, naive though generous nature, ill-suited to cope with the intrigues of a corrupt court under the sway of Louis XV's mistress DuBarry.
The book is reliable when it sticks to the queen and her entourage, but there are numerous errors and outdated interpretations when it moves to topics relating to France or Europe at large, e.g., Louis XVI did not take the initiative in bringing France to the aid of the American colonies.

 This Month in Celtic History - January 2002
It is one of history’s ironies that at the crisis point of the Franco-Prussian War the fate of France lay in the hands of a largely Breton army.
In a desperate attempt to lift the siege of Paris and reverse the course of a war that was rapidly tumbling towards defeat, the French turned to the western lands north of the Loire river.
But the memory of the Breton sacrifices on behalf of France would be conveniently forgotten by the Free French authorities in 1945, when they seized upon charges of “collaboration” by a small minority as a means with which to repress and destroy the entire Breton nationalist movement.

Coke has blamed the crisis, in which hundreds of people reported falling ill after drinking Coke products, on a batch of defective carbon dioxide, as well as on a fungicide that may have rubbed off some wooden pallets onto its cans of soda.

In a response attached to the report, France's public health ministry rejected much of the commission's criticism and said any confusion was Coke's fault, not France's.
