1) Why do I like women from France more than women from anywhere else?

[/ QUOTE ]

I have no idea! French women are cute but I think it's a typical case of "the grass is greener elsewhere". We tend to find women from foreign cultures very attractive for some reason.

2) How are the women in France? Can you compare them with other cultures say, compare them against British / American women?

[/ QUOTE ]

- more elegant and sophisticated (at least the parisian girls).
- Sexier et overall more sexual
- definitely less friendly though, won't make eye contact, harder to approach

3) How do French people think about the French Quebec accent?

[/ QUOTE ]

We find it extremely funny and sometimes annoying. It's also definitely a turn-off.

i have played highish (10/20,20/40) stakes nlhe with some spectacularly bad french players who clearly don't care about the money at all.

is there a game this demographic frequents?

[/ QUOTE ]

You have just defined what a regular high stakes game looks like in a french casino or Poker room. There are very few pros and lots of live ones.

how often do 10/20 games run in paris/elsewhere in france?

[/ QUOTE ]

Not so often, usually 5/10 or 5/5 is the biggest game around (but with pretty deep stacks), but occasionally you can find a bigger game. The biggest NLHE game in Paris is "the chinese game" with mostly chinese businessmen, it's a 10/20 donkfest. The bigger games are usually mixed games/dealer's choice and these can be as high as 40/80 PL (very agressive though so it equates to 100-200 imo).

I don't really know outside Paris but I'd guess there are private high stakes games going on.

if i was to visit one french city other than paris what should it be?

[/ QUOTE ]

You can have a great time :

- In Lyon, worldwide capital of gastronomy, with some of the best restaurants in the world.
- on the riviera (Cannes, Nice, St Tropez): beautiful, casinos, nude/topless beaches, need I say more?
- Montpellier and Toulouse are also a beautiful cities with great nightlife.
