Where did the French surrender to the Vietnamese?

In the Dien Bien Phu battle, which lasted from March 13 to May 7, 1954. The story (link) shows that the French did not so much surrender, but stopped firing on may 7, having no ammunitions left. The French had 2,300 dead, 1,730 missing, and 11,000 captured (among them 6,000 wounded). Out the 11,000 POW, only 3,000 survived. Although a defeat, this is a battle that is still an example of the bravery of French troops fighting on the ground.


Why do we make fun of the french for giving up?

In 1940 France was thought to have the strongest and best army in the world, but the Germans beat them quickly. Marshal Petain actually shook hands with Hitler at the surrender, and France is still the butt of jokes today because of this shameful defeat. If not for French support of General Washington there would be no US today, but the surrender in 1940 is more recent, and France as a country has not yet lived it down. In 1954 General Navarre agreed that Dien Bien Phu was lost, but when he learned that a white flag of surrender was being flown, he raced to the telephone and instructed that the flag be taken down.

What was the relationship between Britain and France during ww2?

Almost excellent. They still bore some grudges (the French - for the sinking of their fleet in Morocco by the British, and the British - for France's "hasty" surrender), but their alliance was vital.
