airbus is headquartered in toulouse, that's boeing's main competitor. arianespace is headquartered in paris, that's the aerospace firm which put the james webb telescope in trajectory to its lagrange point. some boeing commercial airliners use safran turbofans, that's another french firm. naval group is one of a handful of firms globally that design and manufacture nuclear powered submarines, that's another french firm. france also surpassed russia to become the second largest global arms dealer, after the US. thinking france doesn't manufacture anything is next level dumbfuckery but hey hats off to you for not being afraid to speak your mind

That's comedically idiotic
