You have to be prepared to be disparaged, insulted and mocked - that is in the French nature.
It is with enormous distress that France has just learned of the monstrous attacks there is no other word for it that have just struck the United States of America.

It's funny because I think that both France and Britain are known for their distinctive styles and everyone says that France is so chic and elegant but I think more than that French women are renowned for dressing in what suits them.
