Yes, Vichy France will soon fall, and the E Germans Gestapo will be kicked out? President Macron was booed at this years Bastille Day. Wonder why?
In August 1939, before war started, Joseph Stalin cut a deal with Adolph Hitler, over Poland. And told his communist cells throughout the world, to support Germany. Thus the French nation and army, were fatally compromised (in a way they weren't in 1914) by international socialism. This is how it should have gone in 1939 ...

The only French unit, that fought well in 1940, was led by DeGaulle. But ... he wasn't socialist, was he.
The E German Women's Olympic Swim Team mustn't be given a victory again!

"Fight?" they said, "But we're French"!
And I'm mostly French...
As Shiranu would point out, we oversimplify French history with our Anglophone prejudice.

What you mean "we" Brit-boy"?
Actually, I'm about 1/4 true Southern Franc, 1/4 true Parisian Franc and the other half Viking and technically "English" because that's where they all ended up, LOL! Which is why any DNA test that says you are English (or by extension) American is a fake... LOL!

~1/2 Franco/German, ~1/2 British/Irish here. With maybe a little cheese Danish thrown in ;-)
Further conventional genealogical research ...
Definitely some Danish with a tiny bit of Swede. Definitely NW German, with some Dutch and some Swiss. And a tiny bit of French. I am targeting my Swiss roots (Mennonite) as the ultimate source of my Jewishness, since I regard their founder, in Holland, to have been a Jewish mule. More clarity on the British/Irish ... definitely new people coming in, in the mid-19th century. But on top of existing British/Irish already here. One of my German ancestors may have even been a Hessian.

1/1 flemish, with maybe one of my great-gret-granparents having done the naughty with a spanjard or someone from Portugal or something.

That's the english-speaking population's problem, not ours :p
Eleanor of Aquitaine was my ancestor, and was queen consort of France, so I win at the french ancestral traits game.

Yeah I can't compare. My Jasmine blood is unknown to me.
And it's really strange because Jasmine is Persian not French.
But my DNA test and Family info says they were from France.

Iffen you happen to have a French last name?
I always find it amusing to meet someone with a French or Dutch last name. Sometimes they don't know where it heralds from not what it means.
Jasmine is from my ancestors on my mom's side.

Languedoc (S France) specifically. Associated with people who grew the plant .. perfumers.
https://www.houseofnames.com/Jasmine-family-crest
Many species grown in many places
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jasmine
Can be used as an additive to tea.
The name is Latin, from Arabic, from Persian. It is commonly a personal name for Persian girls.
Languedoc is the earliest civilized part of France, going back to the Greek colony at Marseille.
Ah ok.

Ah ok.
My Ex's grandmother, when she came from Italy, thru Ellis Island, claimed her profession was "perfumer".
Actually, Baruch, "Languedoc literally means "language of oc". ... The Romance languages that were spoken in the south of France are collectively called langues d'oc or occitan, as opposed to the langues d'oil, which were spoken in the north of France." Your French ancestors may have been "perfumers" (as mine were tailors), but that has nothing to do with "Languedoc".
