I can't. Because your personal definition of civilization is subjective. Someone South Korean could say the same about peering out their window over a high tech, modern city. Someone Greek could say the same peering out over ancient ruins which formed the basis of Western democracy.

France is a great country, lots of natural beauty, incredibly history, wonderful food. But there's a thin veneer between that and a lot of ugly stuff behind the surface. As a Frenchman you're understandably proud and view France as the pinnacle .. but again, it's all subjective.


(Anyhow .. this is the Djed Spence thread..)
Numbeo is not a source.

The rest of your post is far too reasonable ZZZZZZZZZZZ
 
Yeah you'd be better getting a picnic somewhere because that wine, cheese and bread would cost you about 30 fucking Euros in the rip-off capital of Europe Paris.

Very unlikely to get stabbed in the 3rd Arrondissement either I'd imagine.

Take your picnic into some of the banlieus sure and let us know how all that culture works out.
Baguette tradition - €1.10
Good bottle of rosé - €8
Good cheese - for €50 you can get world class cheese and meat that will last you 3 lunches.

So yeah a bit under €30 for a world class lunch for two in paradise.

Also you are forgetting that our darkest banlieues are the most civilised darkest banlieues in the world. The fireworks fired at police who dare go there are the proudest shade of blue, white and red.
 
Sit in the 400 year old Place des Vosges with a fresh baguette, some world class cheese and a cup of rosé listening to the sounds of the water features gushing and the children playing… and tell me otherwise.

Interested in this crime index though. Link? Completely implausible that France is second on any reasonable measure of crime.
France is a shithole mate. You should speak proper like us, drink some proper larger and forget all that rotten grape nonsense. Also stop pissing on the streets, Paris stinks, do it like us in disused phone booths.

You ain't lived till you've had a teso meal deal sandwich, crisp and drink while sitting on a park bench watching the pidgeons shit on a parked car.

I had a coronation chicken sandwich from sainsburys once and I really enjoyed it.

That Australian beer you used to see everywhere… not so much.

Think I saw a bottle of that in a supermarket once, right next to the rocking horse shit it was...

Wine in France is EXTREMELY good value for money. In the centre of Paris it’s 8-12 euros for a really great bottle of wine.

In my experience that’s £10-15 to find the same quality in London and with less choice.
 
The expression is French not Greek. « Fait accompli ».

By the way, Greece must be the most underwhelming Mediterranean country. France, Italy and Spain produce world class wine, pork, and cheese in stylish surroundings. Greece has all the same potential and produces shit like feta, gyro and Faliraki. Huge unfulfilled potential. Dissolve the country and start again.
We produce the best olive oil, thank you very much.

Parklife?
 
Let me education you a minute…

France is the most civilised place on earth. Greece has good olives and olive produce but it really ought to have done more since the fall of Sparta. Even a cold island of the shores of Normandy has contributed more to art, architecture and food than a country blessed with heavenly terrain.

Greece is like when kids at Eton fail GCSE Maths.
Yeah, Greeks have done fuck all. I bet the French are the real fathers of philosophy, medicine, physics, geometry, the olympic games, etc. And thank you France for democracy too. Wouldn't have made it without you.

:contefacepalm2:
 
Feta is awesome, especially with watermelon and fresh mint leaves.

Gyros are also awesome, i prefer lamb, but i've only had Greek-American versions, never an authentic one in Greece, so i'm not sure how much different they are (if at all).
Very different. Real meat, instead of the processed shit you get in the States. And a size that you can actually take a bite out of.
