Le tour du chocolat
Submitted by France.com on January 5, 2009 - 11:11am.
The French have elevated many things to high art: fashion, flirting, foie gras. Chocolate is no exception. With boutiques that display truffles as rapturously as diamonds, the experience of visiting a Parisian chocolatier can be sublime.
The problem, of course, is squeezing in as many of these indulgent visits as possible while also giving the rest of the city its due. My solution: devote one full day to chocolate boutiques, and do it in style. So, on my last visit to Paris, I took to the city's Vélib' bike system and mastered a two-wheeled circuit of eight of the chocolatiers that had the best reputations and most glowing reviews in city guidebooks and online message boards. It was exhilarating and exhausting, not to mention decadent. It was a chocoholic's dream ride.

There are jobs although there are also people who don't have jobs, just like other countries. Unemployment is, of course, worse amongst the non or under-educated.
The education system is excellent with free education through university for those who qualify.
The food is excellent and known the world over for its quality.
The water is among the best and safest in the world.
Additionally, the health care system is among the best in the world, much better than the USA for instance.
