Does inheritance tax apply to monies received from France?
The U.S. has some reciprocal tax treaties with France; you need to talk to a CPA or lawyer to determine which if any apply to your situation. However, if you don't owe the U.S. tax, then you will owe tax in France; or, if you don't owe French tax, you will owe tax in the U.S. You can't get past the tax either way.
Only the ones that wear berets and spout existentailist philosophy whilst smoking and riding their bicycle to the whorehouse.
Was the napoleonic code good or bad?
The Napoleonic codes were an attempt to settle all verbal and unwritten laws in a larger, fixed set of laws. That had the effect of unifying the regional rules into a national one, and to make the law clearer for judges and the population; these codes formed the basis for the Civil or the Criminal codes in France and in many countries in Europe, and had a lot of influence on the set of laws in the former French colonies.

Tunisia is located in northern Africa and has a hot climate similar to that of Egypt; it does not snow in most parts.
Tunisia is in northern Africa and is the northern most African country but that does not mean much in terms of weather. Tunisia is part of the Maghreb (Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia). Because of high altitude in the north of Africa (Atlas chain of mountains covers all three countries), it does snow almost regularly every year. Some years, it snows more than others. The cities that get snowed regularly are Tabarka, Ain Drahem, Tela...etc.
What steps were taken to provide affordable health care in France?
The health care system in France is a part of the Securité sociale (Social security) and is usually called Assurance-maladie (Health Insurance). The other part of the the Securité Sociale is the "branche viellesse" (retirement pension-fund)
The Sécurité Sociale was created in october 1945, just after WW II. It is explicitly written in the french constitution.
The Sécurité Sociale must give the guarantee to all, especially to child's, mothers and aged-workers, the protection for health, material security, rest and leisures".
The Sécurité Sociale is mostly financed by cotisations. Deductions are directly made from the salaries. Moreover, the employer's shares contribute to finance the system.
but since the 70ies, France has led policies to finance the Sécurité Sociale with taxes in addition of the sharing existing system.
It is not correct to say that it is affordable. It has its cost. Cost of labour is higher than in other countries. The sécurité sociale deficit is 10 billions euros every year.
Hope this all is "undestandable".
France is a country. You don't often get countries within countries.
