[quote=Anonymous]And I am the PP at 16:02.

What has been top of mine for me when I think of France are two events in the news.

Trigger warning ⚠️

1. I follow the trial of Dominique Pelicot, 72, who admitted to drugging his then wife Gisele Pelicot for almost a decade so he and strangers he recruited online could SA her. There were more than 50 "ordinary" French men.

2. The opening of the Notre Dame Cathedral after restoration from the fire in 2019.

I work with people online who couldn't care less about either of those world events, which many others in the world find very historical and significant.

I should add that growing up Roman Catholic meant ties to Rome and Vatican City. It meant automatically knowing that you are connected to another part of the world since your religion is HQ'd there. A wealthy Presbyterian or a Methodist or Baptist wouldn't necessarily consider a Catholic from the inner city to be cultured just because we send tithing to the Vatican.

I also have relatives, my great grandfather's brother and his family, who live in Italy. I have visited them there. Again most wealthy people in the US wouldn't consider that cultured enough.

Cultured would be being British and going on holiday to a beach resort in Italy or sending your college student to study art history in Florence for a semester. [/quote]
