    Not even just artists, there seemed to be more non-french people featured than french looking at the torch bearers etc.

    I get the idea of it being "promoting global unity" or whatever, but it makes them look a bit **** doesnt it.

    They will never be if they just send out other artists also.

    On the plus side the French have showed off what they are best at.

    Not stopping boats quick enough.

    Tbf they put on a show for the city. It showed Paris off wonderfully Think the athletes enjoyed it, rather than standing for hours waiting to walk into a stadium. Now onto the games, bring hone the medals GB!

    We shouldn't have expected too much from a country that gave us Eurotrash.

    To be fair to the organisers, celebrating France's contributions to the world would have been easy, but wouldn't have lasted long...I can only think of the bidet, the cheeseboard, the miniature poodle and onion soup.

    Zizu Zidane would have been a big favourite to win it, on home soil. :)

    The greatest thing about France is the baguette.
