French are the shit! no matter how mean they could actually be, or how much you might have listen they are rude or heavy their body odor could be. I could never agree on bad comments when what we are talking about are the foundation of some the greatest aesthetics in history.
France ha and still happens to be a source of inspiration for the greatest artists, writers, philosophers, designers... It is a culture, which cultural capital is made out of the best: the quality, the passion, the rigor, the boiling point of dedication and beauty, whether it is about food, art, fashion... The way the French has understood and developed rich ways of living it's quite outstanding, and by rich ways of living I refer to the more bohemian/eclectic ways of French Lifestyle, those where the new meets the old, the polished meets the rustic, the decadent meets simplicity, something between beauty and ugliness but most importantly: to find beauty in everything, to find your own beauty to understand your own taste...
A whole culture that nowadays is more defined by how it has been developed by locals and immigrants with a huge amount of things that come together from so many different fields, and not defined just by language: the patisserie expertise, the Louis XV decor influence, the very elaborate menus to the not so elaborate but delicious enchanting ones, the fashion, the architecture, the ultra modern. the gardens, the social gatherings, the wine, the walks, the coffee shops, the rosé, the views, to look up and around, to walk barefoot in Provenze or Saint Tropez, to lounge in simple bistro chairs under an umbrella, around a table with a bouquet of flowers and fresh lemonade with ice and lemon slices... Oh! to live with style it's pretty easy actually! You just have to want it, pay attention to the details and go for it!.
IT IS ALL IN THE LITTLE DETAILS!

Los franceses si que son gran cosa! no importa que tan malvados en realidad puedan ser, o cuánto podría haber escuchado que son groseros o huelen feo. Nunca de acuerdo con los comentarios malos cuando de lo que estamos hablando son la base de algunas de los movimientos estéticos más grandes de la historia.
Francia ha sido y sigue siendo una fuente de inspiración para los más grandes artistas, escritores, filósofos, diseñadores ... Es una cultura, con un capital cultural hecho de lo mejor: la calidad, de la pasión, el rigor, el punto de ebullición de la dedicación y la belleza, ya sea acerca de la comida, el arte, la moda ... La forma en que el francés han desarrollado y entienden maneras ricas de vida es bastante excepcional, y por las estructuras ricas de vida me refiero a la formas más bohemio/eclécticas del estilo de vida francés, aquellas en las que combina lo nuevo con lo viejo, donde lo pulido se reúne con lo rústico, lo decadente cumple con simplicidad, algo entre lo bello y lo feo y lo más importante: el hecho de encontrar belleza en todo, de encontrar su propia belleza para comprender su propio gusto...
Toda una cultura, que hoy en día se define más por cómo se ha desarrollado por los locales, los inmigrantes y una gran cantidad de referentes que se unen, que provienen de muchos campos diferentes, y ya no sólo por el lenguaje; los conocimientos de pastelería, la influencia de Luis XV en la decoración mas actual, de los menús muy elaborados a los no tan complicados pero deliciosos y encantadores, la alta moda, la vieja arquitectura, lo ultra moderno. los jardines, las reuniones sociales, el vino, los paseos, los cafés, el rosé, mirar hacia arriba y alrededor, caminar descalzo en Provenze o Saint Tropez, descansar en simples sillas bistro bajo un paraguas, alrededor de una mesa con un ramo de flores frescas y limonada con hielo y rodajas de limón ... aaah! vivir con estilo es bastante fácil en realidad! sólo tiene que desearlo, prestar atención a los detalles, y ah por ello! Solo recuerden que TODO está en los detalles...
