For some reason France really doesn't like giving english (or any other than french) options on their gov sites. Every other country in the eu are fine.

In France, I feel French is heavily a part of their identity; and contrary to Americans fairweather-jeering their best revolutionary ally, the French do not surrender their identity lightly. It feels like that's the one thing even the poorest French person has, and taking away one iota of that will be met with a resistance we've learned to respect.
