Much is made of Anglo-French animosity. What with the Norman Conquest, the Battle of Agincourt, and the Six Nations, it’s easy to see why there may be, ahem, disagreements. But truth be told, cross-channel relations best reflects the goading conviviality of a sibling rivalry – and when it comes to moments of need, we know they’re only a Eurostar ride away.
The first ladies of France and Britain: Carla Bruni and Samantha Cameron. Do they trump us when it comes to fashion? Please let us know in the comments!
Twist our hand behind our back, and dig a finger in our ribs, and we may even begrudgingly admit there are a couple of things our froggy cousins do better than us – but never to their face! While food certainly isn’t one of them (gives us Jamie over Escoffier any day of the week), they certainly know a thing or two about cinema. Which is why when the French film company Simonet Productions asked to make a feature on the goings-on in Little Britain, we only had one word for them: ‘Oui!’ Beautifully shot, snappily edited, and with musique exceptionnel, we reckon they give Jean-Luc Godard a run for his money:
If you like what you see, please let Simonet know on facebook or twitter. You also may like to pay a visit to our lovely next door neighbours, Lyon.
We’ll have our weekly recipe for you tomorrow, but until then… Au Revoir!
I think they do trump us in the fashion stakes, and I do love French films, but I also love British ones. We do northern comedy drama very well, and who can beat us when it comes to costume dramas of the Pride and Prejudice type?
Yes, we have to agree on the fashion front. That’s very true about the films, and let’s not forget good period television – Downton Abbey is all the rage over here!
