National traditions of France
The government in France is a system that should provide its citizens with the most comfortable conditions for life. It is the government that serves a person, and not vice versa. The country maintains a high level of security (not counting the regions where migrants from Paris live in large numbers), the streets are always well-groomed, beautiful flowers bloom, and fountains with drinking water are installed. Another important feature of the mentality of the French is that they know how to enjoy life and get maximum pleasure out of it.

Manners are part of a beautiful life.
