Why are there so many tree lined streets in Paris?

The German Army likes to march in the shade

I am no huge supporter of the French but I must point out that “Richard the Lion Hearted” (Third Crusade) was actually French, he couldn’t even speak English.
The object of the Fortifications on the “Maginot Line” was to deny the Germans access to France from the areas they protected, in this the “Line” was a success. Also the French and British casualties during this period of WWII were certainly not “hiding behind” the Maginot Line.

"This is a very vicious animal; when attacked, he defends himself." Notice posted at the Paris Zoo. insight into the French (European/pacifist) mentality, any creature that defends itself when attacked is “very vicious”.
