Sure. I (being french) am now in china. It is amazing, sometimes how you can be
classified "romantic" just because you are french. Anyway, no one here has a
single idea of what romantic can mean, but it is certain that french are, and
that it makes us great lovers. The seducing power of this imaginary feature is
sometimes just impressive, especialy in fashionable places (night culbs are not
least). More over, it is added to being european, which is already great.
But when does this reputation come from? Its fame is impressive, world wide (exept
in england maybe, where we can be frogs before being romantic), but it is
certainly not cause by nowdays french people. So in what time were we so good?
