Ever try shipping something from Paris? What a joke. I bought my wife and daughter some gift's last year. The store was a big known chain. They didnt have a shipping policy, and it took 3 month's before I got the gift's. In French resteraunt's they have just discovered POS(point of sale) they dont even know what computer's look like. I go there two- or three times a year and I think it's a beautifull city, and I actually like The backwardness. This is a rest from my native Manhatten. I am a type A and there nothing to do in Paris except eat drink and shop! So I get a little rest. My associate's children are college aged and they tell me how lazy the average French student's are. They say That there is no spirit of entrepeneurship here, and little work ethic. You must remember that France is pretty socialistic, and there is litlle incentive to inovate. Those who do are in Silicone Valley, not Paris. They are fairly demoralized at their prospect's in France
