There are lots or reasons to love France, but why is French the iconic language of love? Of all the romance languages, it could be argued that Italian is the sweetest on the ear, with it sing song tone, yet French has always eclipsed other languages in romance, at least in the eyes of Americans.

Stare at talking frenchmen for the length of a movie and it seems like his blown you hundreds of kisses.
