Ils sont fous ces gaulois!

The other day I was forced to watch “1945, France l’année zero” while I was biking on my exercise bike. My husband was in the middle of this historic program and wouldn’t let me see “Sex and the city”; this is the kind of psychological terror husbands exercise and get away with.

How crazy can the French be; the head of government in Vichy Regime, Pierre Laval, was convicted to death for High treason, and tried to commit suicide by taking poison in his cell. The prison doctor ordered a stomach rinse, and they succeed to bring him alive again after a heart stop.

Just to shoot him afterwards as the death penalty required.
