A common word that English people use to describe French people as is 'frogs', probably because of the supposedly traditional French dish of frogs legs. I can't think of any others....I guess it depends on what people associate with France because nick names normally come from things that people relate with that particular person/thing/place.

^ This was the previous answer. I couldn't disagree more!

I am English myself (the name gives it away a little haha) but we see the french as fashionable, smart, well spoken people. We refer to them as 'the french', 'frenchies' or 'the parisians'. French are a bit like our neighbours, they are of course only across the water so you know.. :) and people can say what they like about the french and the English not getting on, regardless, i learn french and speak to lots of other french 14 year olds and we get on really well. the sterotyping of 'frogs legs', 'berets', 'french bread', 'moustaches' and 'cheese' is old fashioned and totally outdated.

Hope this helps! :)
