Can I just say "everything?" LOL
There's no way I could list everything I love about France, but here's a few...
Hermes of course!
Louis Vuitton
Repetto shoes
Le Bon Marche
Chanel
Bourjois
Paris- just walking around it, such a beautiful city
Fresh baguette from the boulangerie
Kir
French food- onion soupe, quiche, croissants, pain au chocolate, macarrons, crepes, cheese, the list goes on...
french-ruled notebook paper (odd, I know)
open-air marches in Paris (the fruit there is so much more flavorful than in the US)
French wine
The wealth of museums and historical sites in Paris- it never ceases to amaze me
OK must stop now, I'm making myself nostalgic for Paris!

my husband and I shared this bottle ('82 vintage) a few weeks ago to celebrate our 10th anniversary (sitting in the wine cellar, lit by candles).

Only the french can make a wine like this, IMO it's the equivalent to Hermès as far as wine goes...

Almost everything or anything French. Esp the men.

 

[blueberryjam]

Claude Debussy and Maurice Ravel

France will always have a special place in my heart thanks to the road trip I took with a girlfriend some years back Thankfully she spoke French (I couldn't). The driving was pretty challenging but we survived anyway!

Almost everything or anything French. Esp the men.

Why did you have to remind me of our sexy French postdoc. I swoon every time he says "So where to you want me to take the measurements?"

 

[coleigh]

The culture...enough said! I'm french.

 

[Encore Hermes]

Well in no particular order, I love..
Sitting outside a cafe when it's quiet, ordering 'un petit noir'.

Mount Saint Michel. It is unbelievable in real life. Breathtaking!!

Le Louvre, anytime, but expecially since I found the back ticket entrance.

Monet's Gardens at Giverny. Watching the light change on the water where Monet painted the waterlilies.

Tasting wine in a real wine cave!
