It takes real money to live large on the French Riviera and the wannabe's hate that. France is far from perfect but they have it right in a lot of ways.
My step father is French; I've been to France more than I'd like to admit. I have lots of family there also. The house that my Aunt lives was occupied by a Nazi Colonel, and later by an American General. I've seen how my aunts, uncles, and cousins live in France. And none of them live as well as I do.
