what's the big deal about the french?

Why does everybody make a big deal about the french it just doesn't make any sense to me. I don't care if they created democracy they still smell like wine and cigarettes. I could also care less about the statue of liberty as far as I'm concerned it's just a giant rock they dropped into the new york harbor. I mean if any other country used are waters as a place to drop their trash we would be all of over them, but not france their special. I mean we even teach french along with important languages like spanish. I don't care if it's the language of love or the diplomatic language it nothing compared to the great english language, take that debuache de mere's. One could say their special because of Paris the city of lights, fashion, and food. Of course if you asked me I would say they stole that stuff from hanukkah, america, and america.
