I really like that song ! And wow the words , I actually had to look up when France stopped using the guillotine , it said 1981 when capital punishment was stopped ! Wow and the last person to be executed by guillotine was 1977 !
I know, right … one of the surprises for me in settling into France were these conservative streaks that are rigidly part of the culture, particularly in the law. Drug laws are among the harshest in Western Europe.
Goes against the libertine image I had of France, which also does exist too. A paradox that made sense the first time I heard a French person refer to the country having a Latin culture (“le côté Latin”), like that of Italy.
