France - the very name conjures up cafes on sidewalks, limpid rivers, castellated castles and sparkling vineyards. It's also populated by the French, who have a whole other set of trigger words, which could include proud, formal, arrogant, cultured, sexy, chic and Gauloise-smoking - though thankfully not all at once.
