Who are the French?

Answer 1

Why, the French are the nationality who live in France, in Western Europe!! The modern French people are comprised of a number of different races, a bit like the modern English- most French people are descended from the ancient Celtic tribes of the Gauls, and in fact France was called 'Gaul' back in Roman days. However, the French also carry in their blood lineage from the peoples of Alsace-Lorraine, Switzerland and the Walloons of Belgium. In the South of France, there is also some common blood with the Northern Spanish. The French region of Brittany remains ethnically seperate, the Breton people being a pure Celtic race who have not become assimilated in the same way as the rest of France has done. They are of the Brythonic branch of Celts, and are closely related to the Welsh and the Cornish- they retain their own ancient language, and many wish to see regional autonomy for Brittany.
