The French are rude. They don't shave. They get mad if you butcher their language. But worst of all, the French aren't pleased that the rest of the world has these impressions of them.

Not that any of the above stereotypes are true, but the country does want to feel more welcoming to tourists. So, in an effort to win your admiration – and, by proxy, your money – the French government is rebranding the nation with a high-tech marketing strategy.

Their campaign is called “Rendez-vous en France.”

For you slack jawed rednecks:

“Rendez-vous en France” means ron-day-vu in France.

Paris does have good train stations. Gare De Lyon being my favorite. Usually means on my way to Montpellier.

And although they deny it almost to a man, they are still really pissed about the drubbing they took in the Franco-Prussian war.

They don't bathe enough for my taste. You'd think the women of the country that invented the word "douche" would know what they were.

Plus those little berets are phaggy.

I do remember walking into a Tower Records store & as soon as I opened the door, a whoosh of body odor just smacked me in the face. Yep. Bad Memory.

A rush hour train in Paris during July can be a toxic experience.

In Rome....May through August!

Much of Europe basically shuts down in August for 4 weeks of vacation. For those who can't leave Paris and head for Marseille and the French Riviera, the city brings in barges of sand and builds a temporary beach on the banks of the Seine River.

It is under construction right now!
