The two facts about the white in the flag are wrong. The pure white flag (or white with fleur de lys) was the flag of the King of France, and by extension, the flag of his kingdom, so the blue white red is not "the new and the old", it's the citizens and the king, and the pure white flag was never a problem, as it never was the French flag and a common symbol at the same time. This "french are coward because of their pure white flag" comes from 2003 USA's propaganda following the decision to not assist in the invasion of Irak and is just bullshit, just as the rest of this propaganda...
Don't expect a british to speak about the true meaning of the white on the flag. They just want to do frensh bashing even if they don't realize they are doing it. British brain washed. At this time, the white flag has nothing to do with surrender. The red and blue comes from the flag of Paris during the revolution. And yeah you are right, the US propaganda about surrender comes after the fact the french government didn't want to join the USA in Irak because their were NO evidence of a threat ( nuclear threat ). And who was right ? France. There were no military programm for nuclear weapon in Irak. Even the US millitary has admit they have invade Irak for oil.
That is entirely true. It's a shame but I don't really think that they knew it was french bashing. I mean I think that they thought their stuff were real.
Irak's invasion proved to be a mistake whose followings was the creation of ISIS and DAECH, France's decison was right. France is the oldest ally of USA, but USA doesn't understand the big difference between friend and yes man. They'll will learn someday (i don't know when and by who, but...) the hard way that a yes man is an ennemy....
Fact 102, France has the best military record of any european nation, quote from the second book of general ignorance byohn Lloyd and John Mitchinson : "According to historian Niall Ferguson, the French have fought more military campaigns than any other European nation and won twice as many battles as they have lost, of the 125 major European wars fought since 1495, the French have participated in fifty - more than both Austria (forty-seven) and England (forty-three). And they’ve achieved an impressive batting average: out of 168 battles fought since 387 BC, they have won 109, lost forty-nine and drawn ten.this makes France the most successful military power in European history The British always prided themselves on superiority at sea, but this was only because they realised they could never win a land war on the Continent. The French army has, for most of history, been the largest, best equipped and most strategically innovative in Europe. At its best, led by Napoleon in 1812, it achieved a feat that even the Nazis couldn’t repeat: it entered Moscow. These remarkable achievements help explain another French military victory. Whether it is ranks (general, captain,corporal, lieutenant...); equipment (lance, mine, bayonet,epaulette, trench...); organisation (volunteer, regiment, soldier, barracks...) or strategy (army, camouflage, combat, esprit de corps, reconnaissance...), the language of warfare is written in one language: French."
Didn't stop the british destroying you at the Battle of Waterloo. france is no way near the best in europe lmao. the brtiish were and always have been a navy nation. shut it frog even spain had a better empire than you
Plus not forgetting the british have and always have been a global nation. they used their powerful navy skills to rule a global empire. they didn't give a shit about europe. The French Empire's ''rule'' of Europe didn't really last long, that's why frog you don't attack countries with bigger armies. It's common sence.
@Shaque Brazil lol read again your history mostly Prussians defeated France at Waterloo. But you seem like that type of guy too affected by British propaganda. I'm sure you think that "God save the queen" was created by the english people (it was made for the king Louis the XIV of France because he was cured of an anal disease), or that type of guy who believes that Napoleon was small or that Dunkirk was a "miracle" and not a French victory saving the ass of Britain who had fled without telling your allies on the orders of your beloved Churchill. Go learn a real history book sir !
Shaque Brazil That's why they needed a coalition of 8 countries to defeat France ... And it's easier to kill indigenous with bows and spears like the UK did instead of destroying Prussia, Austria, Russia, your army is weak as fuck
Well as a french i'm little disappointed....always Paris and same things... For example, when you speak about the French language, you can add that in France we have others languages. In the north, we have "Oïl languages" which are Picard, Norman, Gallo ... etc and Francian which was spoken by the kings, it's the true French! And in the south we have "Occitan languages" like Provençal, Vivaro-alpine, Limousin... and others languages like Flemish, Breton Basque, Alsatian, Corsican. Sorry for my mistakes. :)
I'm living in south of France for more than 30 years and i NEVER heard anybody speaking provençal or whatever langue d'oc. French is the language used in France, it's the perfect tool for making France a big and powerfull country.
BABU I'm French and I totally agree with you... French is the only language spoken in France and I don't know what's this trend of trying to valorize dialects. They are pretty useless...
Not to be confused with the June Days in 1848 when, after the establishment of the Second Republic in February, the workers of Paris revolted because they saw that the bourgeois and conservative pseudo-Republicans in power (a great deal of the parliamentary majority were monarchists disguised as "Republicans of the morriow") were taking away workers' rights earned by the socialists Republicans in the provisional government that had been progressively sidelined over the months. The government shot in the crowd; there were between 3,000 and 5,000 dead, 25,000 arrestations, 11,000 incarcerated or deported to French Algeria. Perhaps it was no surprise when 3 years later, when President Louis-Napoléon Bonaparte led a coup to stay in power beyond his single four-year term (and later proclaimed the Second Empire), the workers of Paris didn't mobilize to defend the bourgeois republic that had had them massacred.
What places have u been to? I understand that the cities might not be as great as some people expect but I've been to plenty of places that I really want to return to...Paris is one of those places though
France is still an imperial country over its former colonies, yuck, having a hand in their politics and foreign policy and exploiting the Uranium from Gabon to enrich its nuclear ambitions, Hypocrites, yuck!
Fact number 102 : France is the country that relies the most on nuclear energy by far, with 77% of its electricity being produced in nuclear plants (2013). (thought it was worth mentioning)
#76 wrong again, the white flag was the flag of the French Kingdom until 1830, defeated enemies of France waved a white flag as a sign of respect. White flag as a surrendering symbol has been adopted in 1899 during the first Hague convention. The whole surredering joke thing came from anglo-saxons and spread only relatively recently, thanks to our neighbour from the other side of the Channel and even more recently thanks to our ally on the other side of the Atlantic. :)
He basically said that French rules and that DEFEATED ennemies of France would wave the white flag, not France itself, and that our bad reputation is due to hamburgers and rosbifs. Chill, please.
Hi from France! ... just a little mistake : our national day isn't commemoratiing the 14th of July 1789, but the 14th of July 1790, day of the Fête de la Fédération (I don't have a good translation for that one), a celebration of the unity of the French people.
Oui mais sa ne change absolument rien à ce que j'ai dit. Certes la date du 14 Juillet vient de là, mais l’événement qui est célébré lors de notre fête nationale chaque 14 Juillet c'est la Fête de la Fédération. C'est ça la définition officielle, et même en France y'en a beaucoup qui font l'erreur et pensent que le 14 Juillet sa célèbre la Prise de la Bastille, alors que non sa célèbre la Fête de la Fédération. C'est pas une différence anodine, même si la Fête de la Fédération est en conséquence de la Révolution c'est événement radicalement différent de la Prise de la Bastille.
Bah en fait on fête les deux. Cherchez pas, j ai demandé à deux de mes profs d'histoire, ils m'ont répondu la même. Donc on se creuse la tête pour rien.
C'était une différence importante dans les années 1840 à 1870, jusqu'à la Commune puis ça a fini avec la 3eme rep. Victor Hugo parle, je sais plus dans quel roman peut être quarte-vingt treize, d'un vieux qui pleure en revoyant l'épis de blé distribué lors de la fête de la fédération et la symbolique du moment.
Fact 102,France can be closer than you think. if you're in south africa Réunion and Mayotte counts as France south america dont worry French Guyana got you covered The caribbeans and north american Guadeloupe,Martinique,Saint-Martin,Saint-Barthélémy and Saint-Pierre Et Miquelon got you covered too What about you Australians that want to visit France? Wallis And Futuna And New Calédonia Got You And we can't forget French Polynasia.
For those of you who love french towns with strange name... We have a "commune" in France which is named "Sucé" meaning "sucked" in french. In the last weeks before the presidential election of 2017 one of the candidats, François Fillon, came to Sucé for a speech. Local newspapers made a little mistake and wrote in article : "Fillon a sucé" (meaning : "Fillon sucked") ...the correct sentence should have been "Fillon à Sucé" ("Fillon go to Sucé"), but the wrong was done already, and the joke became viral... By the way, "Fillon" is often nicknamed "fion", meaning "butthole"... sometimes, you have problems with orthograph...
Just to let you know, the time you have to serve the French Foreign Legion is 5 years, not 3. And a lot of légionnaires don't get the French Nationality. But it's true, you can become automatically French if you've been injured while serving the Legion (Français par le sang versé). I really enjoyed your video. And please excuse my bad english.
The French flag was inspired by an early battle of the French Revolution. The Paris militia wore a cockade of blue and red, the traditional colors of Bastille, during the storming of Bastille. According to French general Gilbert du Motier, white was the ancient French color and was added to the militia cockade to create a tricolor. The French flag also inspired other national flags, including the American flag and the British flag.
I've heard from people who've visited France, especially Paris, that it's best not to speak English there. I also found that in Luxembourg, which is near France and predominately French. That's because of prejudice. For instance asking for directions, and given all wrong, complicated ones.
The recipe for the French croissant is not the same as for the Viennese croissant (kipferl). They just have their shape in common. The Austrian is a kind of brioche bread and thé french is a puff pastry
tu es Français? Expliquez-moi comment n'utilisez-vous pas le bidet, inventé par les prostituées françaises, pour laver vos parties intimes? surtout comment les filles du cycle menstruel n'utilisent-elles pas le bidet? Je demand un ami...
I love your video! My family and I recently got back from a 3 week vacation in Europe where we stopped in France and visited the country town of Belleau Wood and the city of Paris. There is so much to see and do. We can't wait to go back and explore more of France! :)
Another fact: Guillaume "Le Conquérant", duc de Normandie (William "the Conqueror", Duke of Normandy) took over England with a single battle : Hasting in 1066 (Go check the unique Bayeux tapestry) While the kings of England took more than a century to ultimately fail conquering France (yea even if it is 3 century after, just fun to think about it)
The colours of the flag were decided at the time of the French Revolution when the monarchy was made constitutional, the white is actually royalty in between the colours of Paris which represent the people.
Je... euh... Quoi? Euh... attend oui non nos départements sont pas divisé en arrondissement, je le saurais non? Ptain j'suis pas un expert en géographie Française, (malgré le fait que j'y habite), mais moi quand on m'parle d’arrondissement j'pense à Paris, pas à la Sarthe mdrr Après je savais même pas que Lyon et Marseille avaient eux aussi des arrondissements, donc je suis ptet pas la source la plus fiable xDD I ... uh ... what? Uh ... wait yes no our departments are not divided into arrondissement, I would know no? Ptain I'm not an expert in French geography, (despite the fact that I live there), but me when I speak of arrondissement I think in Paris, not the Sarthe mdrr After I did not even know that Lyon and Marseille also had districts, so I'm maybe not the most reliable source xDD
Ok my bad, il y a bien des arrondissements dans les départemements, mais genre PERSONNE n'en parle, je n'en ai JAMAIS entendu parler PS: j'utilise google traduction... Donc ouais, la traduction est pas folle - Ok my bad, there are many boroughs in the departments, but like no one talks about it, I've NEVER heard PS: I use google translation ... So yeah, the translation is not crazy
Alright, I know this is gonna be a long shot, but I'd love you even more than I do now if you do 101 facts about Iceland (if you even find 101 facts about it).
The Champs-Élysées is one of the most famous shopping streets not only in Paris but in the world. Its two-kilometre length stretches from the place de la Concorde to the Arc de Triomphe and is a must-visit.
No, the colors of the flag is blu white and red because the blu represent the nobless, the white, the king and red the people and the king is between for "watch him" Sorry for my english
Some fact you can add : That "Arrêt" sign you used, is actually a Québecois thing. "Stop" is considered a French word, and have been used on french road signs since road signs were created. About fact 71, it's a bit more complex. Potato was though to cause health issues (probably because people ate germinated ones, also because they grew underground); so Antoine Parmentier tried to make potatoes hard to access; the most famous story being that he set up a potato field, heavily guarded at day, and from which every potato went directly to the King. But at night, there were little to no guards, so people around would sneak in and steal the "precious" potatoes. Antoine Parmentier developped a handful of potato-based recipes and products, even making bread out of potatoes. But the most famous one is the one that bear hs name today, the "Hachis Parmentier". About 73, animal trials were not unknow in France (and probably other countries) during the Middles Ages and Renaissance.
Hi, The Fête Nationale (14th July indeed) doesn't comemorate the "Prise de la Bastille", minor event in the revolution (it was the armury and they needed guns and powder). It celebrates the "federation" a year later for the new constitutional monarchy
34 les miserables is not about de revolution of 1789 35 the national day of france is not the celebration of the storming of the Bastille. It is the day of the Federation on 14 July 1790.
Fact 57 :there a town called pussy ... I live 10 minutes from there NOjoke it's about 15 minutes form the town of alberville and it's about 30 minutes from courchevell (ski resort) ... And I have a friend that lives there ..... WAIT WTF
Also the Confederate Reich now controls the states of Virgina,Alabama,Louisiana,Texas,Southern Kentucky,Southern Californa,Ohio,Florida,and half of Tennese.They also control pockets in Canada and own Northern Mexico.
To be exact Paris (town of Parisii) was a "town" even before the romans came, they just romanized that place where the tribe of Parisii (celts) was living and called it Lutecia. Romans for the most romanized existing structures that why the transition afterall went quite "smoothly".
Informations : 1) 14:23 It means "They were what we are, dust, toy of the wind, fragiles like humans, weak like nothingness" 2) Yes I'm French, respect me 3) Please never speak French again. Just.

I love when it does "Boom". 15) 28:55 Just. Food. 16) France won 51% of their wars. And without Napoleon 55% (or 54% don't remember) 17) The french helping US for their independence is one of the reason of the French revolution itself. 18) There are so many unused rules in France that you could possibly do something that isn't allowed without anyone to react. 19) English teachers such that much in France that I haven't learned English with school but with english speakers peoples. 20) HAPPY 20TH INFORMATION ! 21) If I remember (again) France is building the first 4th generation nuclear reactor. But it still try to give more importance to renewable energies. (Logic? Where are you ?) 22) Back to 4) Blue is the color of the king. 23) Negro head ("Tête-de-Nègre") is the name of a french pastry that has been replaced by Choco Head or Chocolate Meringue. 24) i just want to go to 25 informations. 25) HAPPY 25 INFORMATIONS !

Hi from France!

TurboSkay la fête de la fédération vient du 14 juillet 1789

For those of you who love french towns with strange name...
We have a "commune" in France which is named "Sucé" meaning "sucked" in french. In the last weeks before the presidential election of 2017 one of the candidats, François Fillon, came to Sucé for a speech. Local newspapers made a little mistake and wrote in article :
"Fillon a sucé" (meaning : "Fillon sucked")
...the correct sentence should have been "Fillon à Sucé" ("Fillon go to Sucé"), but the wrong was done already, and the joke became viral...
By the way, "Fillon" is often nicknamed "fion", meaning "butthole"... sometimes, you have problems with orthograph...
You forgot Romania is also a Romanik language 😢
Everyone forgets Romanian is romance even though we have ROMANian
No
Just to let you know, the time you have to serve the French Foreign Legion is 5 years, not 3. And a lot of légionnaires don't get the French Nationality. But it's true, you can become automatically French if you've been injured while serving the Legion (Français par le sang versé). I really enjoyed your video. And please excuse my bad english.

The French flag was inspired by an early battle of the French Revolution. The Paris militia wore a cockade of blue and red, the traditional colors of Bastille, during the storming of Bastille. According to French general Gilbert du Motier, white was the ancient French color and was added to the militia cockade to create a tricolor. The French flag also inspired other national flags, including the American flag and the British flag.
I've heard from people who've visited France, especially Paris, that it's best not to speak English there. I also found that in Luxembourg, which is near France and predominately French. That's because of prejudice. For instance asking for directions, and given all wrong, complicated ones.
I just flew to France the day this vid came out!😂
Good for you
The recipe for the French croissant is not the same as for the Viennese croissant (kipferl). They just have their shape in common. The Austrian is a kind of brioche bread and thé french is a puff pastry

The departments are not divided in arrondissements, only 3 big cities are : Paris, Lyon and Marseille
Romuald Rosemain
False, departments are divided in arrondissements led by a sous-prefecture. Exemple Hérault, arrondissement de Bédarieux
You're right but the word "arrondissement" is mostly used to talk about the divisions in the 3 biggest cities
Go live to the countryside, you'll use it often.
Je... euh... Quoi?
Euh... attend oui non nos départements sont pas divisé en arrondissement, je le saurais non?
Ptain j'suis pas un expert en géographie Française, (malgré le fait que j'y habite), mais moi quand on m'parle d’arrondissement j'pense à Paris, pas à la Sarthe mdrr
Après je savais même pas que Lyon et Marseille avaient eux aussi des arrondissements, donc je suis ptet pas la source la plus fiable xDD
I ... uh ... what?
Uh ... wait yes no our departments are not divided into arrondissement, I would know no?
Ptain I'm not an expert in French geography, (despite the fact that I live there), but me when I speak of arrondissement I think in Paris, not the Sarthe mdrr
After I did not even know that Lyon and Marseille also had districts, so I'm maybe not the most reliable source xDD
Ok my bad, il y a bien des arrondissements dans les départemements, mais genre PERSONNE n'en parle, je n'en ai JAMAIS entendu parler
PS: j'utilise google traduction... Donc ouais, la traduction est pas folle
-
Ok my bad, there are many boroughs in the departments, but like no one talks about it, I've NEVER heard
PS: I use google translation ... So yeah, the translation is not crazy

Some fact you can add :
That "Arrêt" sign you used, is actually a Québecois thing. "Stop" is considered a French word, and have been used on french road signs since road signs were created.
About fact 71, it's a bit more complex.
Potato was though to cause health issues (probably because people ate germinated ones, also because they grew underground); so Antoine Parmentier tried to make potatoes hard to access; the most famous story being that he set up a potato field, heavily guarded at day, and from which every potato went directly to the King. But at night, there were little to no guards, so people around would sneak in and steal the "precious" potatoes.
Antoine Parmentier developped a handful of potato-based recipes and products, even making bread out of potatoes.
But the most famous one is the one that bear hs name today, the "Hachis Parmentier".
About 73, animal trials were not unknow in France (and probably other countries) during the Middles Ages and Renaissance.

Hi,

To be exact Paris (town of Parisii) was a "town" even before the romans came, they just romanized that place where the tribe of Parisii (celts) was living and called it Lutecia.
Romans for the most romanized existing structures that why the transition afterall went quite "smoothly".
