Stereotypes about the French

The French are famous for their cuisines, they like to eat well. We associate French cuisine with frogs' legs, cheese, baguette and glass of wine! This is what our meals are made of according to foreigners. So obviously a Frenchman loves to eat but we do not eat frogs' legs at every meal, on the contrary it is rather a rare meal, a festive meal. It is true that the French like to eat cheese accompanied by a glass of red wine but not all French people like it and especially they do not eat it at every meal. If we ask a foreigner to describe a French woman, he will associate her with wearing the beret and the long coat, with red lipstick, being small, delicate, and well dressed. The man is described as someone tall, blond and handsome with a mustache, and very romantic, who respects his wife. Romanticism and the wearing of the beret is associated with all French people. But again not everything is true, women are not all small and men are not all tall! For romanticism, it is true that in general the French are even if there are some exceptions. The stereotypes of the beret and the coat long date in fact of fifty years, this was true in the 50s but it is no longer the case even if some still wear it is no longer at all a generality
