...Falaise as an example of someone "undoubtedly elegant, chic" may be excused if one keeps in mind the impossibility of defining the French in an uncontroversial way.

Typical barbarians, they sing ethnic songs, dance wildly, offer to buy Eve, and delight in killing Enlishmen.(Never mind that the Afghans were nationalists fighting for liberation.) No tears...
