Guardian - Frenchman stereotype

Guardian - Frenchman stereotype

A pleasant surprise at the end of last week when the Guardian got in touch with me for the first time in ages. They said that the project they had in mind was for a colloboration between the Guardian and four other European newspapers - Germany's Der Spiegel, France's Le Monde, Spain's El Pais and Poland's Gazeta Wyborcza, whereby they would explore each other's stereotypes and preconceptions.

I was given France and the key-words the other four editors used to describe the french stereotype.

I attach two versions here, the original, annotated with the terms and adjectives used in the article, and an amended version without, as, in the end, the image was considered too busy by the Editor.

What do you think?
