There is a long history of fashion in Paris and France (starting certainly in the 17th and 18th centuries with the kings' courts being very "fashion" and having a big influence on fashion all around Europe). The French fashion reached a top in the 19th century and beginning af 20th, but still is very important in the world -maybe number 1? don't know. Many types of clothes were invented there.\nToday, it is still a world capital of fashion (with Milano, London, New York, Tokyo), difficult to say if bigger than the others, competititon is hard! Italian people say the capital of fashion is Milano, Uk people say it's London, and French people say it's Paris...(but I think there are more exhibitions and/or events, and for sure there are more companies and business, see below).\nBig Paris names for fashion are Yves Saint Laurent, Dior, Chanel, Lancôme, Louis Vuitton, Givenchy, Hermes, Kenzo, Guerlain... And these are only the big names.\nThe big thing today is that many fashion companies are French ownned, even if giving the image of being from somewhere else (Gucci, Loewe, Acqua di Parma, Alexander McQueen, Giorgio Armani, Ralph Lauren, Maybelline NY all belong to French companies, all of them based in Paris).\nThese are big global groups generally with a brand that looks local in each important country for fashion.\nAnd if you look at your Calvin Klein perfume, it is made in France (or at least all the ones I had), as many others (I don't really know why, maybe there's a special know how in France...)

I've been to Monaco and I think I can help you.  For the most part, Monaco is a resort, so resortwear is very common.  However, this isn't the Hawaiian shirt kind of look found in the States--the Monegasques seem to prefer what Americans might associate with country clubs.  Night time, of course, calls for a greater level of elegance, from simple black dresses at the clubs to ball gowns and tuxedos at Monte Carlo casino.  And what about the normal, every day folk?  One thing striking about Monaco is the almost nonexistance of anybody of less than upper class--all the "regular" folk live in cheaper areas in surrounding France.  Basically, I would say the Monegasques dress in the same fashion as their French Riviera neighbors.

It depends on where you go? Lke all major cities Paris has its bad and good parts. Outside the city is very poor and they have major issues with crime. The south is very warmer than the north. You will find areas around Nice was rich and better off. You will find white sandy beaches. The west coast is cool and beautiful. Overal France is middle to low income. It is not a rich country. The people are overal friendly. Many people like to joke and say they are rude or stink. But it is not different than other country you will visit. I say it is worth a visit. \n\nI have been there many times and in face live only a few hours away to the north (Netherlands). It is a nice country and many areas a filled with friendly people, good food and beautiful rolling hills. Yes Paris cost a lot and it does stink, the people are rude but so is New York City. Or is Amsterdam, Berlin and all cities of that size. The rest is great for a visit.

The smile on her face.\nLack of profanity in her speech.\nThe way she walks. Oh, the way she walks.\nHer clothes say so much about her modisty and care for her appearance.\nThe way she listens.\nThe way she makes eye contact.\nThe way she smells good, expensive parfume.\nHer laugh.  Her appreciation for the company she is with.\nAnd her hair, clean styled, it is her Glory....

Sure, France is wonderful to visit. And America is considered the greatest country because it is.

The culture....OMG...it is so much closer to the German culture.  Look at the past, look at what happened. Also, look at today.  Those two countries, politically, are closer allies than France and Spain.

There is an online boutique called pantiesareus.com that has more French Maids than I have ever seen.  I have tow and they must have at least eight of them, from the skimpy little lingerie kind, to regular ones to go out in public.\n\nJust look under Funwear - Adult Costumes.
