Some years ago I moved to France for personal reasons. Very soon I started to discover that the funniest activity to do in this country is to look at French and discover how good and famous they think they are.
Personally, as an Italian, I find that my country is much more interesting to visit and that Rome is much more worth a visit than Paris. Why? Go through this site and find it out by yourself!
I will therefore not hesitate to publish funny things on this pompous country and on the people who live there, and to publicise my discoveries to the whole world. No sorting order whatsoever. I'll just follow my instinct, describing events as I remember them and taking inspirations from everyday life.
If you are French and you are not humble enough to accept comments or critics on your country, then leave this page before starting to get hurt. If you want you can leave your comments too, but, please, don't be vulgar, or I'll cut them off.

Rome vs Paris - Comparing monuments...






Today's face-to-face: 2000 years old Roman Colosseum (originally known as the Flavian amphitheatre) against the Tour Eiffel (built for the 1889 World's Fair). Two pics, two cities, two different worlds... and it is up to you to comment which one you would visit!

As a technical information, the Colosseum was built to host bloody gladiatorial combats and wild beast shows and can be visited for just 8 euro! And for the same price you can freely visit the Arch of Constantine (AD312) just on its west side and the Palatin Hill, center of the imperial power for centuries.
The Eiffel Tower is 320 meters high and can be visited for 10 euro... a little expensive to visit what it is just a television antenna!
