- I didn't have particular trouble finding French on T-shirts. I have two,
- from the same place in Grenoble---one is a quote from Nietsche:
- "Without music, life is a mistake"
- and the other is a picture and quote from Descartes:
- "Those of great spirit are capable of the greatest evils or the greatest good".
-
- Something like that anyway.

- You can also get Tin Tin T-shirts, along with shirts featuring other
- French cartoon characters (Asterix, Lucky Luke, etc). Pretty expensive
- stuff though. I have a small model "Milou" (i.e. "Snowy") from Tin Tin.
- French pop-culture is a lot more vibrant than those of other European
- countries.
