well, this has been an eye-opening discussion... maybe i am just a bit ethnocentric attempting to apply our standards to France. (I really don't think I'd like to live there but I'd love to visit sometime.)  I didn't know Le Pen was that bad, or that the old bimbo Bardout was really a racist either.

I didn't know Bardot was such a racist. Interesting. Thanks Moot.

BTW, I would second what Moot said about France - it's a great place. Great food, beautiful open countryside and some of the people are ok too. Apart from Saw and Straffo who are ghastly. ;) I know people who have lived there, and they loved it.

Sorry, this thread has just left a bad taste in my mouth for French civil society.  Paris is definitely OFF my vacation list.

I'll just have to visit somewhere else I can be over-charged and insulted everywhere I go.

Thats right.  I'll be spending my tourist dollars in New York!

The exchange rate is favorable too.  Near unity.

Why not try south Florida instead?   They even have some topless beaches, just like they have on the French Riviera.

Oops, I think I have just sinned again.   :uhoh :uhoh

Will anyone here please offer to beat me with a stick?

She's being fined for that?

A well, looks like we'll have to rescue France from itself again someday   :cool:

Dang, she was hot back in the day.  A long, long time ago

My cousin part owns a restaurant in Paris, he was out here a couple of months ago for a family reunion with his french girlfriend, and yeah it sounds fantastic - we're going to take up his offer for some free accommodation and a tour guide when the boys are old enough...

I don't think you would regret in Tronski. Of all the cities in the world I think Paris is somewhere I'd like to live, probably in my top three after Berlin and Budapest.

BTW, I've been talking to a visa consultant about Oz. Because my wife-to-be is a registered staff nurse, I can get in on her Visa application. It's then down to cost - go the expensive skilled visa route, which is for permanent residence and allows us to own property (I could do that on my own merits); or if she gets sponsored by a hospital she gets the sponsored Visa which cheaper, takes only a few months compared to 18 months for the skilled visa costs less than £500 compared to £3500. Although the latter doesn't allow you to own property and you get booted out of the country if she loses her job and can't find another.

I think we are pretty serious about doing it - at least to try see if we like it down under. :)
