Thank you both for being so gracious. I have no doubt there are many sweet and delightful French people. I haven't spent very much time in France. Unfortunately my brief experience in Paris left a bit to be desired, but I certainly won't write off the whole country.

Seems to me to be quite unfair to blame all Parisians for your one "brief" experience of the city.

If you get to know them and don't rub them up the wrong way, they can be quite charming.

I should know.

I'm one of them......

French President N.Sarkozy said this afternoon if he is reelected there will have a French bid in 2024 :

IF he's re-elected.

Which, considering present opinion polls, isn't going to happen........

Maybe France will bid again but this time in another city.

My feeling is that France won't bid for another WOG until a SOG has been held on its soil, Paris being the only viable city in the country to hold such a game.
Considering the economic situation, I wouldn't be holding my breath......
