MN,
Though my name is french I am Irish by blood. I spent two years in Lille, France during medical school, and played semi pro football on two teams, Les Aigles de Villeneuve d'Asq the first year, and Les Vikings de la Madeleine the second year.
During one of the post game meals after playing in Rouen, (Normandy), the mayor of Rouen came over and asked me to stand up.... and announced to everyone in the restaurant that I was an American, come HOME to Rouen. The entire restaurant stood up and cheered!
Not all of the French forget...
