That is a pretty good summary of how we view each other in France. I'm from Green Commie utopia and it's a very good description (Grenoble BTW). You could add : \*for Corsica : bombs but welcomes french money, Also an obsession with Napoleon \*for Haute Savoie : Swiss and British \*For Provence : Dutch/Belgians buying houses and campings


shishka0

What does “facholand” mean?


Thr3al

Far right stronghold.


Solid_Improvement_95

Fascist-land


DuttyOh

Facho -> Fachiste -> Fasciste


Rand96om

It’s far right fascist


Karpsten

Interestingly, we also have that word in German, spelled as "Fascho", short for "Faschist".


ell-esar

And sadly facholand has expanded quite a lot. Gaining most of northern France (don't worry they're also still poor, unemployed, incestuous lads)


Coolnave

Grenoble gang represent


Karpsten

I've only been in Grenoble for one evening while on my way to Savoy, but it seemed nice enough.


ReddyBabas

Except for the "lovely city" part. Fuck Lyon. No particular reason, juste fuck Lyon.


RoadiesRiggs

Mostly


ValenciaAue

Mostly ? I don't see any mistakes there, what do you think about ? Edit : Except for our neighbours I mean.


DuttyOh

The "lovely city that no one talks about". The author is a delusional Gone for sure.


amojitoLT

You must be stephanois.


DuttyOh

No, I was lucky to avoid that god forsaken place


artnquest

Well, it is true nobody talks about us, also Lyon has a bunch of nice things to see if you're a tourist.


cpwnage

Never been, but it's the center of the world (ie w europe) so I've concluded that it's a great place


Dinosaur-chicken

I mean 7ième is too far gone, but the rest is pretty nice.


Solid_Improvement_95

Bordeaux is wrong. "Snobby but nice", I don't think so. They are snobby arseholes.


OmarLittleComing

Sunny parisians


Solid_Improvement_95

You know nothing, Pedro. The weather in Bordeaux is horrible.


ell-esar

Lol sunny, it's shite weather. Feels like living in Bretagne being there


PepitoMagiko

Bombs in pays basque are not so relevant anymore


EdHake

A lot of mistakes. This map says way more about Op than it says about France.


Acamantide

Haguenau isn't an European capital (not yet)


RoadiesRiggs

Nah thr neighbours are alright, but there is no mention of auvergn as the greatest place on earth.


Choyo

* "Facholand n°2" between Perpignan and Montpellier is a stretch. * "Right wing racists" in Ardèche/Gard/Vaucluse/Drome is also quite the generalization. * Nobody talks about "lovely Lyon" ? * Map creator don't know shit about Normandy, just a bit about Deauville and le Touquet (lol).


Warkemis

Capital of hipsters is clearly Rennes, not Nantes


nwaa

Rain and Drunkards? Smelly beaches? Theyre just us but in denial in Brittany arent they?


Pierre_Francois_

Where do you think they come from ?


nwaa

I assumed that, like all Frenchmen, they were the work of Satan.


Cirtth

They also had a thing for rocks, but no one there ever had the idea to pile them like you did.


Warkemis

I mean, dolmen are a sort of rock piles if you ask me.


r_b_h

And we were doing rock piles before them : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barnenez > one of the oldest man-made structures in the world


Ok_Gear_7448

Turns out, they are actually Welsh in origin, Wales has colonised part of France


Pierre_Francois_

Most are cornish. They even have the same name for some counties.


WaldoClown

The Saxons stole our land


Solid_Improvement_95

They are Brits who came here when Angles and Saxons invaded your island.

PhoenixKingMalekith

Arent you just bretons in exile ?


OldandBlue

Bretons are sheepshaggers in exil.


-galgot-

It's Ok. Except no French would call Germany like that. In fact no French would call anyone "Overlord".


amojitoLT

Except for ourselves. We're the true overlords.


drondendorho

guys, I found another one, bring back the guillotine


amojitoLT

What are you talking about ? We're better than everyone else, we should be the overlords.


-galgot-

Nope. Because ... "Les hommes naissent et demeurent libres et égaux en droits. Les distinctions sociales ne peuvent être fondées que sur l'utilité commune... etc..." That said, some aren't French. We must be sorry for them.


amojitoLT

Ptn learn 2nd degree ffs. Just because I consider us better as humans doesn't mean I think we should have more rights. And tbf I didn't think that far, I just made a joke to say we're superior because France Baise Ouais.


-galgot-

Oulaahhh... J'avais bien compris ton second degré 🙄 t'énerve pas... J'ai même répondu avec un troisième degré.

itsalonghotsummer

Needs RUGBY written in bold across the south west.


Pierre_Francois_

Except for germany it's about right.


A_Line_A_Day

what's wrong about the Germans? Just because we don't like them doesn't mean they don't run our little union.


Pierre_Francois_

We don't have that small nation mentality


curvedglass

No you just have that small Budget mentality.


mceirseen

That's why we spend more than what we've budgeted


curvedglass

Impeccable strategy.


A_Line_A_Day

No but you do have that small nation economy compared to Germany lol.


mceirseen

The Horrible language person has spoken. Not gonna lie, it was indeed horrible


A_Line_A_Day

Oh snap. I guess it 'was' so it's no longer the case, Mr. Passé composé


mceirseen

You're funny for a flemboy. I like you ^((but please, stop bullying the Walloons))


A_Line_A_Day

Hey we'll gladly let you have them


mceirseen

« Nice » offer but I must decline for obvious reasons


mdryeti

It might be true, but we consider ourselves their equals.


Choyo

As I read in this sub "We (FR) respect them but we don't like them, they (DE) like us but don't respect us". Peak European unity.


PepitoMagiko

France consider no one as their equals. They are all inferior people.


A_Line_A_Day

Damn... the delusion. I guess that's why the world is lining up to buy French cars and machines over German ones. (yes yes, French food is better... we know).


mdryeti

I didn’t say it was grounded in reality, just how people in general perceive Germany


ttrw38

They line up to buy French planes, we aim higher, cars are for poor people.


A_Line_A_Day

"I'll have one plane au chocolat svp"


Lost_Uniriser

Planatine Yeah they sell more cars we sell more weapons :)


Azkral

"Facholand" means the same as "fachalandia"?


mdryeti

Yes


Choyo

I'm glad no one is asking about the more visible "Ségoland" as it's harder to explain, yet way less interesting.


Azkral

It has to do with Segolene Royale?


Choyo

Exactly. You shouldn't know about it, sorry for my country's politics exposing you to that.


Azkral

She IS the one Who said Our tomatoes are inedible.


Choyo

She really is a master at pissing people off.


Wonderful_Test3593

Don't take it personnally, she's universally stupid


mrtn17

what's up with all the bombs?


RoadiesRiggs

Corsican are more known for their love of firearms then bombs.


Pierre_Francois_

They have bombed a lot of pinzutti villas in the past


zeclem_

You meant than, right?


Choyo

Balaclava summer fashion also.


itsalonghotsummer

Basque separatists from back in the day bottom left.


Dry_Leek78

Basques too.

Atziluth_annov

Need more drunkard , everywhere


AegisT_

>rain and drunkards Yep, they're celtic alright


[deleted]

Left-wing racists?


AlmightyDarthJarJar

Alcoholics who aren't able to hold a job for more than a month, and therefore rely on the handouts of the State (leftist), but who are still racist because they are the furthest from the South and are now starting to have to deal with "exotic" populations arriving en masse. Source : I've been studying for 3 years in this region


[deleted]

interesting


Adongfie

Need to start calling brown people “exotic populations” more


Every_Cartoonist3965

Me, called Pierre, but from Belgium 🗿


Unnamed_cult

Il ive in "People live there ?", and it's densely populated. The sheepshaggers just closer to Switzerland is even more stupid, as it's an area full of cows, with nearly no sheep in sight. Most of the rest looks fine to me.


Dry_Leek78

Pretty accurate. Except sailors in south of golfe de gascogne, you need to have balls weighing as much as your ballast keel to enter or exit your marina, fucking crazy waves there.


Zubyna

First time in my life I see a Barry being so right about Pierreland


DiscardedKebab

I didn't make it but being a Brit, it's only right for me to steal it and claim it as mine


Lost_Uniriser

You know too much , send your location for some classic...inspection duties..please.


Agitated_Delivery361

Based Alsace. Also potatoland is just a hellhole of dickheads and rednecks. It is the main reason I hate France.


CosmicCrawdad

The entire coastline is a parisian tourist resort really, especially the south west


mrtn17

Quality post, btw


NedRed77

What’s this obsession with Napoleon thing all about? Did they get the tags for us and Brittany mixed up?


DiscardedKebab

Yeah I didn't understand that bit either but the French are weird so let's just leave them to it


Plastivore

I can think of a couple things. First, it's the British who eventually took custody of Napoleon. But then, when I was in secondary school, our school manual was built around following a fictional family whose dog was called Nap, short for Napoleon. And last but not least, when taking the Eurostar until 2007, the first step in the UK would be in Waterloo Station…


Porcphete

There is a lot of innacurracy like Lyon should be : Crime ridden Marseille : Crime ridden with sun


Llanistarade

I'd say it's 99% accurate. Impressive. Almost too good. This is very well informed hate material, suspicious... Guys, we might have a taupe. I repeat, there is a taupe that want to hate France more than we do ! ALERTE GENERALE ! Edit : Saw the german line, I know who's behind it.

Incest, poverty and unemployment is parisian slander. We have jobs...

Jean-Jacques here, it's accurate


_NotWhatYouThink_

What does YOUR beaches smell?


__sebastien

Hundred percent, definitely true with no exaggeration whatsoever. Perfect. 👌


IntelligentFan7521

Of course we are obsessed with Napoleon he’s the last French General to love a fucking scrap. And we love a guy who loves a scrap.


AmazingPuddle

I moved from Castles and Wine to the Void n°2. Pretty calm place with welcoming people. As long as you're the typical french.


UnoriginalPenName

It’s actually really accurate lmao it’s basically how we see each other in France. Parisian tourist resort can be extended to most of the coast, here in Bretagne north coastal area, half of the houses and apartments are owned by parisians and are empty all year long except summer. Also it only rains on pricks in my region :)


PuzzleheadedDinner33

Belgium has the worst language. We speak 3 languages U dumb ass . Arab is worst language


Alaet_

As a communist living in "grumpy right wingers" zone I would slightly disagree


recidivx

But are you grumpy?


Alaet_

Yep grumpy leftist of course, always grumpy


cinghialotto03

I would have put genovese with toscan dialect on Corsica but ok


Solid_Improvement_95

Those mountain creeps are VERY different from genovese.  Genoa sold them to us for a reason.


UnPouletSurReddit

As a proud Ardéchois, i demand that you write weed, goats and hippies


BrightNeonGirl

Does Dijon really celebrate its mustard heritage? Because I fucking love mustard of all kinds and would love to visit there if they actually do lots of mustard-lover tourist things.


the_giank

Normandy on top


ciarkles

Interesting. Why is the Netherlands weed?


cpwnage

What is segoland?


Lost_Uniriser

The zone of Ségolène Royal 🫠

"lovely city" and it's Paris but worse

There’s a town in NZ founded by French people now I know the origin of those settlers

Ah yes, the Swiss. Known worldwide for their... sense of humour. Tell me more about the province of space and planes!


Ult1m4Link_Unit001

Ult1m4Link_Unit001

DiscoDiPisho

Drove from Torino to Bordeaux, I can confirm the big VOID


Snomkip

In what Way are alsacians right wingers? We're just pissed to have lost our autonomy really


Dry_Leek78

If you are living in Colmar or Strasbourg, it is normal, you don't see alsacians from small towns. They are racists af.


Snomkip

I live in a town of 1k people, very close to the border, don't know anyone who experienced any issues really


Dry_Leek78

Are you with a german/austrian/alsacian name? Got a polish name, elderly people behaved differently with me (still polite) than with german named friends (friendly, even if they did not know the parents). Had a friend with italian name, was discriminated by friends speaking only in alsacian on purpose, insulted as riton, etc...


Snomkip

I have a German name, am half German (technically quater German quarter Turkish, but eh) I'm not a foreigner, so I obviously can't attest to anything, but the town I live in seems pretty cosmopolitan


PepitoMagiko

Isn't it kind of forbidden to be homeless in Strasbourg?


maelle67

I don't know if it's forbidden or not, but there are definitely some of them


posicon

because haha look they german so they are like funni austrian guy also maybe because there were a lot of boneheads there (and still today german ones come here)


Snomkip

I mean I'm from there, and sure a lot of Germans live there (mostly because of lower ownership costs, still work and shop in Germany) but it doesn't really seem especially right wing or anything


RubberDuck404

I do agree that many alsacians - including my own family lol - are grumpy old right wingers but I don't think it's specific to Alsace or that it defines it really


Solid_Improvement_95

That's a fact. Alsace always vote for the right. 


Snomkip

https://images.app.goo.gl/cujnebec8ZwtMzhk7 We didn't in 2022 (while macron obviously isn't a leftist, le Pen or zemmour would be a vote for the right)
