i've been to Paris also. i'm not sure if i would say SUV's are "popular", most people still prefer to drive small fuel-efficient cars (fuel prices are ridiculous there) and SUV's are comparatively few and far between...maybe ownership has exploded very recently...?

pollution is not bad at all, and while the streets are all very narrow, they're not narrower than Philippine streets. politically, i think France can do this because they are more socialist and the people are more environmentally conscious...i am guessing that most Parisiennes could care less about SUV's since they've never thought of owning one.

re: the reputation of the French military...some people (mostly Americans) take it a little too far, but for me it's more of a joke to poke fun at the French people and the government...who tend to be a little arrogant towards foreigners and in foreign affairs. as a couple of people have already said, France conquered and colonized a good part of the world not too long ago.
