That's got me thinking.  Does France have a patron saint?  Google says St Denis, celebrated on October 9th. Clair, where is the love?  Is it something to do with the revolution?

He was the patron saint of England until the Norman crusaders decided to go for an obscure, possibly mythical,  eastern bloke who'd never even been here on a booze cruise. This is about him for starters. Or try here. Albert the InfoGipsy "So welcome to the Citadel where the question is 'Am I?'"    Report

Is that H pink because of the way you say Apppyy, Frenchie?   I'm just trying to get my son to say Frothy correctly, go on give it a go!  He has been in France since he was 3 and struggles with the 'th' sound, I drum it into him on a daily basis but Frothy he can not say.  My other favorite word to get a french perosn to say is wardrobe, it's a toughy don't know why!    Report

As an adopted English person, I waited a long time this morning for a proper (real) English person to show some pride in St George's day... It was gone 10 am when I gave up waiting and posted a little reminder... Now I have that song in my head too... As for a saint patron for France, I don't know really... Since Jeanne d'Arc is now used as a token for disguised ultra-nationalism, I'd rather not have any...
