So many things to comment... the picture is so lovely, for me it could be a painting or the cover of a very nice book! And about the survey, we did not need a poll to know that France is, among other things, THE most romantic country and that it offers a great way of life. Or do you think the french are known for having that savoir faire et savoir vivre for nothing?!!<BR/>And Edulabbe, I agree, for what I´ve seen, many people can´t point where many countries of south america are on the map, but I´m sure Chile should be among the first numbers in this poll (although I´ve never been there I´ve heard wonderful things about the country).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11471590.post-1170070694830338822007-01-29T12:38:00.000+01:002007-01-29T12:38:00.000+01:00The passion does not stop at Europe's borders eith...The passion does not stop at Europe's borders either.

I once researched the educational systems in detail, both at university when i studied french history, culture & language and in personal life. My children were, at the time, in private education in UK and i came to the conclusion that the levels achieved were equal between your state education and our private system. The private system here costs around £15,000 per annum per child so you can see another attraction for those wanting a better lifestyle and prospects for their children. Becoming bilingual for them is an added bonus.Cheltenhamdailyphotohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00518073757785956012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11471590.post-1170065690910314052007-01-29T11:14:00.000+01:002007-01-29T11:14:00.000+01:00Ah the grass is always greener on the other side, ...Ah the grass is always greener on the other side, Eric, we say here in the UK.<BR/><BR/>The reason we think France may be the promised land is not so much fact-based such as in the economy or politics, etc. It is in lifestyle. The open space of the countryside with the chance to buy a good chunk of it without parting with too much cash. The long, languid meals over, again, reasonably priced wine, social interaction. Here, meals are rushed between the stops of a racey lifestyle, at least for most of us, whereas in France, particularly in the countryside, to which we aspire, the pace seems much slower. The food always seems delicious, too and whilst our standards are improving, there's nothing like a good French meal. It's the 'laissez faire' probably which draws us in and perhaps the wish to be back to basics, growing our own in your acres of beautiful landscape which, with its similarities is not too much a culture shock from our own.Cheltenhamdailyphotohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00518073757785956012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11471590.post-1170061306920563832007-01-29T10:01:00.000+01:002007-01-29T10:01:00.000+01:00Thanks for the link Eric.
