As a French, I do not think that French and English hate each other. Nevertheless French and English were pitted one against the other throughout history.

The Hundred Year war took place in the Middles Ages owing to a struggle for power between French and English kings.

During the French Revolution or Napoleonic wars England stood as a steadfast enemy, eager to achieve a balance of powers through Europe.

Nowadays Germany having initiated the 1870 war, the first and second world wars, replaced the Crown of England in the role of France's traditional enemy. In these three instances French territory was invaded and French people had to suffer multiple miseries. The English role as an ally in WWI and WWII shifted the traditional view of England as a country always ready to invade France, to a more friendly role.
