French People

"Not all French could surrender, smell stinky, or eat snails... but hey, if you're fallin' for baguettes, romance and stuff, then you can see the French people coming to reside to my village. Come on. It was good. We're having fun with them, but not to be offended, but instead, we'll have to dine with the French cuisine in here, mon ami, but if you're a girl, then you're a mon amie."

--Su Ji-Hoon, Welcoming the Refugees

The French (French: Français) are an ethnic group and nation who are identified with the country of France. This connection may be legal, historical, or cultural.

Historically the French people's heritage is diverse, including populations of Gauls, Ligures, Latins, Franks, Iberians, Alamans and Norsemen. France has long been a patchwork of local customs and regional differences, and while most French people still speak the French language as their mother tongue, languages like Norman, Occitan, Catalan, Auvergnat, Corsican, Basque, French Flemish, Lorraine Franconian, Alsatian and Breton remain spoken in their respective regions.
