Who is France culturally closer to?

Btw, it seems that Viejo get crazier as the days go by.
Clavier's family are of Greek and Italian origin to start with, LeBanner is a Paleo who's nose was broken many times by fights and face has been quite disfigured also.
Godard and Niney looks normal and Viejo is an incredible idiot, again.

Let's Cholo viejo waste his low energy with cheap counter-arguments.

Belgium. If i am not wrong, French call Belgium petite soeur.

[Ouistreham]

Belgium of course.

Not only because French speakers are somewhere between 40 and 45% of Belgium (less than 25% of Switzerland).
Brussels and Wallonia feel like other French provinces, with their own weird accent(s).

French-speaking Switzerland is another planet.

I think the Germans have the same feelings about German Switzerland as compared to Austria.

Belgium and without much contest.

“Belgae” one of the various Celtic tribes of Gaul.

German tribes gave their name to various other places: England, Normandy, Burgundy, Lombardy, Saxony, Gotland, Jutland, Friesland...maybe even Vandalusia

Interesting fact, Clovis, the first king of France, was more Belgian than French. Obviously, it's an anachronism to talk about Belgium in the 5th century AD. But the city of Tournai was the capital of the Salian Franks. So technically, the first French were Belgians.

You said Belgium, then I say Switzerland

Seriously even though I also think Belgium, this should be a question asked by a non-french
