The truth about french machinery is that it is of average quality but high price (euros). So it's pretty well NEVER a good deal.

What France makes well is champagne, regional foods...and weapons.

Buy one jet fighter and get a bottle of Moët & Chandon in the cockpit

My Father (an Englishman) frequently refers to a nail as a "French screw", if that tells you anything.
