French products
Would someone please post a comprehensive list of products sold in America that you know are French products? Of course, I know about French wine, but I know there are lots more things imported from France that aren’t as clearly labelled. Thank you.
Champagne-Ardenne: Gastronomy

Hey Francomphiles everywhere!
Just a quick note to let you know that our own Jean-Noel Frydman will appear on "Your World" with Neil Cavuto this Friday, 4:00PM EST. Will he convince FNC to change their position on the Boycott? We doubt it, but it’ll be interesting to watch.
Boycott Redux ?
Here we go again! Talks of boycott of French products for retaliating against the French government’s position on the Iraq post-war UN mandate are making the rounds in Washington, and elsewhere. Is this just a new development, or the continuation of the "malaise" between USA and France? What do you think of boycots in general? Is this what the oldest friendship beteen nations has to come to?
Due to the somewhat acrimonous debate, please refrain from vulgar, defamatory judgements. These do not help the debate and will be deleted without notice. That being said, everyone is welcome to share their thoughts and ideas about this very controversial issue.
Beaches
Will be touring France next year & want to stay on the beach. Any recommendations? Will need to have nite life as well. What are the temps like between June – August? Have never been!
thank you
