How do you really know when you're in France?

[Vergennes]

If you woke up one day and had no idea where you were, there are certain signs, many in fact, that would give away that you were in France. Suggestions courtesy of our readers.

Many French toilets, at least the older ones, have bidets, which may look a bit like a toilet but are nothing of the sort.
-

Everyone, yes everyone has to walk to the streets with a baguette under their arm, otherwise you're not allowed out.
-

French patisseries pride themselves on their cakes and also the way they are wrapped.
-

Everywhere you look in France there's a creperie, probably even two or three.
-

The French like to display their tricolours above most public buildings, and there are a lot of public buildings.
-

Perfectly presented sugar is a clear sign you're in France.
-

Several readers pointed out how the roads were empty and the motorways in France were a pleasure to drive on.
-

French butter makes France stand out from the rest of the world

You'll easily know if you're in France if it's a Monday and the shops are closed, often because they opened on the Saturday
-

Can you imagine the UK police officers on roller blades?
-

A sure sign you are heading deep into rural France.

There is a French trained baker down the road from where I live.

The difference in his products from regular stores is quite striking.

I love proper fresh croissants, pain au chocolat, madeleine, eclairs etc and other great French baked goods and pastries... along with standard baguettes and other breads.

There is a very good charcuterie next door too, so I can make a really good personalised meal very easily . This French culture and influence in this part of Canada is one of the best things imo.

Essence of France, in India - Pondicherry. Allow me to add some pictures..

Pondicherry was a French colony before. The heritage has been preserved.

These nations protect natural environments. they accessed to moon and Mars but they did not disturb Nature. we cut the whole jangle for to build parliament house. we hunts the birds deer other wild life for our enjoyments. there are no the oldest trees in the big cities of Pakistan. India is batter than Pakistan in the protection of the nature.
